Hi, I've been following the Linux port since the first version, as the Wine version had some shortcomings. Unfortunately, the current version is still unusable. The last few updates have at least made HeidiSQL reasonably usable with MariaDB, as long as I only want to view or edit data. However, you need a very high tolerance for frustration, as it crashes every few clicks. HeidiSQL is completely unusable with PostgreSQL. It crashes after a maximum of 5 clicks. I am therefore currently using DBeaver, which I don't like at all compared to HeidiSQL and find much too cumbersome to use. Beekeeper Studio is much more similar to HeidiSQL, but it doesn't really come close to the classic either. HeidiSQL is the only program I've missed since switching to Linux about a year ago. I'm happy to help debug the errors with bug reports and tests, if you're interested. I use Manjaro with KDE Plasma on Wayland.

Best regards, Plasm

@Plasm if you can make this more precise than I can likely fix some things which crash. Did not see many crashes so far.

Would you like the information here in this post or somewhere else (e-mail, new post, etc.)? I'm from Germany, so I'd prefer to communicate in German, but the forum seems to be mainly English-speaking.

An example: Selecting a database in the tree on the left: Exception class: ERangeError Message: Range check error

Callstack: $0000000000ACBD2A $0000000000ACBD8C $0000000000ACBC65 $0000000000ABB237 $00000000004EBDE2 $0000000000AC3E4A $0000000000AB1BCD $00000000007DB3CE $00000000007B8515 $0000

By the way: The "Copy details" button in the exception dialogue does not copy the error to the clipboard for me. In addition, each click adds a new check mark.

Please report such bugs to the ticket system on Github. This forum is more meant for simple question/answers, and news around the app. If that tracker stuff is new to you don't fear - noone will beat you ;) I'm german too but it's important to keep it readable for the rest.

When you report an issue on Github, please also report the Linux distribution and the HeidiSQL build variant you are using.
