Beekeeper Studio als Linux-Alternative zu HeidiSQL
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Beekeeper Studio is a solid replacement for HeidiSQL on Linux, especially for users who value a clean, modern interface and reliable core functionality. It supports all major databases HeidiSQL does—MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite—and adds strong tab management, query saving, and secure connection options. While it lacks some advanced features like visual query planning or complex session scripting, its stability on Linux and active development make it a good fit for developers and DBAs who primarily manage databases through queries and table editing.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite
- Provides syntax highlighting and auto-complete in the query editor
- Includes a visual table editor with data import and editing capabilities
- Allows exporting query results and table data to CSV, SQL, and clipboard formats
- Offers persistent session management with multiple open connections
Was anders ist
- Beekeeper Studio has a more modern tabbed interface with dedicated tabs for queries, DDL, and data
- Includes built-in encrypted password storage, which HeidiSQL lacks
- Lacks built-in support for running SQL Server on Linux natively (connection support is fine)
- No visual query builder or execution plan viewer like in HeidiSQL
- Does not support direct schema comparison or database synchronization tools
Ihre HeidiSQL-Dateien öffnen
Beekeeper Studio does not directly open HeidiSQL configuration or session files (.hds). Connection settings must be re-entered manually or via export scripts. However, SQL query files (.sql) created in HeidiSQL are plain text and open without issue in Beekeeper Studio. Exported data in CSV or SQL format from HeidiSQL can be imported seamlessly, as both tools follow standard formats.

- Use SSH tunneling or SSL as needed—Beekeeper supports both with encryption
