pgAdmin 4 als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

pgAdmin 4 can replace SSMS for users who work with PostgreSQL instead of SQL Server. It offers a web‑based GUI, query editor, ERD tool, backup/restore, monitoring, and fine‑grained permissions, all of which cover most day‑to‑day tasks in SSMS. However, it is not a drop‑in replacement for those who need to manage Microsoft SQL Server databases or use T‑SQL‑specific features. For PostgreSQL developers and DBAs, pgAdmin 4 is a solid choice.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • GUI‑based database management

  • Object browser for tables, views, procedures
  • Data import/export tools
  • Performance monitoring dashboards

Was anders ist

  • Designed for PostgreSQL, not Microsoft SQL Server

  • No integration with Windows authentication for SQL Server

Ihre Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio-Dateien öffnen

SSMS uses .mdf/.ldf database files and .bak backup files that are specific to SQL Server. pgAdmin 4 cannot open these files directly; you would need to restore the database in a SQL Server instance first or use third‑party tools to convert the data to PostgreSQL format. Exporting data from SSMS to CSV or SQL scripts can be imported into pgAdmin 4, but direct file compatibility is not available.

Von Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio zu pgAdmin 4 wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Export the SQL Server database to a SQL script or CSV files using SSMS export wizard.
  2. If needed, use a data migration tool (e.g., pg_dump, dbForge Data Compare) to convert schema and data to PostgreSQL syntax.
  3. Create a new PostgreSQL database via pgAdmin 4 and import the SQL script or CSV files.
  4. Verify table structures, indexes, and constraints match the original design.
  5. Adjust any T‑SQL specific code to PostgreSQL syntax (e.g., variable declaration, error handling).
  6. Test application connectivity against the new PostgreSQL database.
