Free download SQL Workbench/J SQL Workbench/J for Mac OS X. SQL Workbench/J - SQL WorkbenchJ is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. MySQL Workbench for macOS is distributed as a DMG file. The file is named mysql-workbench-community-version-osx.dmg, where version is the MySQL Workbench version. MySQL Workbench provides platform support for the latest version of macOS only (see supported platforms).The previous version continues to be supported for a transition period of six months after each new version of.
As I mentioned here: Cannot open SQL editor on macOS High Sierra. Version 6.1.7 has a disappearing grid bug on subsequent queries, which was fixed in 6.2.^ But 6.2 doesn't work on High Sierra as well. I found that 6.0.8 works fine on Hight Sierra. https://accountever922.weebly.com/blog/free-minecraft-cracked-download-mac. Here is the link to archived versions: MySQL Workbench.
In my previous SQL for data analysis tutorial, I briefly mentioned that I prefer SQL Workbench over pgadmin4 for SQL querying. Today I will show you how you can install it too! The setup process is more or less the same on Mac, Windows and Linux, but I’ll highlight the slight differences in my article – and you can always select the appropriate solutions for yourself.
STEP 1: Download and install Java 8+ on your computer!
SQL Workbench works with Java8+, so until you have this package, you won’t be able to run it! Java will be useful anyway, so simply download and install it from here:
https://java.com/en/download
https://java.com/en/download
It is fully free – provided by Oracle.
STEP 2: Download SQL Workbench!
It’s free too and you can get it here:
Here, you’ll see all the previously released SQL Workbench versions.
When I write this article, Build 124 is on the top. Whether it’s on the top for you as well or not, please go and find this exact version:Build 124.
And make sure you are downloading the right version for your operating system:
STEP 3: Open SQL Workbench!
Once you have downloaded your file, unzip it! You don’t have to install anything, just run the SQL Workbench application. Barracuda vpn client mac download. If you have trouble opening it:
- On Windows: right click on SQLWorkbench.exe –» Run as administrator
- On Mac: right click on SQLWorkbenchJ –» Open
STEP 4: Download the postgreSQL plugin!
https://gatewayclever799.weebly.com/blog/intensive-exposure-mac-free-download. Unfortunately you have to download a postgreSQL plugin too!
Link: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#current
Link: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#current
Read the instructions and download the appropriate version (in our case, this is going to be the one that is compatible with Java8+). When I’m writing this article (May, 2017), the right file is: PostgreSQL JDBC 4.2 Driver, 42.1.1
Important! Put this file in a folder where it is safe and where you won’t accidentally move or remove it.
STEP 5: Connect to your server!
Note: if you don’t have your own data server to practice yet, set one up here: Install Python, R, SQL and bash!
When you run your SQL Workbench application, the first window will be the “Connect window.” If not, you can still access it from File –» Connect Window.
It requires a few pieces of information to make the connection:
Name: You have to name your connection, which can be anything. (I’ve typed in: “My first postgreSQL connection”)
Driver: Select PostgreSQL! You will get an error message. Something like this:

SQL Workbench error: “The library for the driver is not accessible!”
Click YES!
As you can see, SQL Workbench can’t find the postgreSQL driver by itself… Let’s help it out and click the little Folder icon.
As you can see, SQL Workbench can’t find the postgreSQL driver by itself… Let’s help it out and click the little Folder icon.
Go and find the driver that you just downloaded during STEP 4. Open it!
If you can see it on the “Library list” (shown in the above picture), click OK and your driver will be set!
URL: The URL has 4 parts.
- The
jdbc:postgresql://
is a constant in our case. You don’t have to change it. - The next part (red) will be the IP address of your server. Type your server’s IP address (the format should be something like:
46.101.100.000
) - The next step (green) is the port number. If you followed my tutorials so far, this is going to be
5432
for you as well! - Finally provide the name of the database that you want to access (it can be anything that has been created before… If you followed my tutorials so far, it will be
postgres
!)
Note: usually when you get access to a database, you get this information (IP address, port, database name) from the admin of the database.
Username: This should be the username that you set up when you installed your data server. (e.g. for me it’s “dataguy” or “tomi”)

Password: Your previously set password.
If you did everything properly, you should have something like this on your screen:
Click OK and the connection will be established!
Congrats! You are in!
Congrats! You are in!
Note: It’s worth saving your connection details so you don’t have to type them again!
STEP 6: Run a test query!
As a last step, just run some sample queries to test out your new SQL query tool!
You can try the classy
You can try the classy

or you can go ahead and explore your data tables via the Database Explorer feature:
Conclusion
Aaand… That’s it for today! You have a cool free SQL query tool, SQL Workbench. From now on you can use either this or pgadmin4 to complete my SQL for data analysis tutorials!

Here I’ll show you how to get SQL Server up and running on your Mac in less than half an hour. And the best part is, you’ll have SQL Server running locally without needing any virtualization software.
Prior to SQL Server 2017, if you wanted to run SQL Server on your Mac, you first had to create a virtual machine (using VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Bootcamp), then install Windows onto that VM, then finally SQL Server. This is still a valid option depending on your requirements (here’s how to install SQL Server on a Mac with VirtualBox if you’d like to try that method).
Starting with SQL Server 2017, you can now install SQL Server directly on to a Linux machine. And because macOS is Unix based (and Linux is Unix based), you can run SQL Server for Linux on your Mac. The way to do this is to run SQL Server on Docker.
So let’s go ahead and install Docker. Then we’ll download and install SQL Server.
-
Install Docker
Download the (free) Docker Community Edition for Mac (unless you’ve already got it installed on your system). This will enable you to run SQL Server from within a Docker container.To download, visit the Docker CE for Mac download page and click Get Docker.To install, double-click on the .dmg file and then drag the Docker.app icon to your Application folder.What is Docker?
Docker is a platform that enables software to run in its own isolated environment. SQL Server (from 2017) can be run on Docker in its own isolated container. Once Docker is installed, you simply download — or “pull” — the SQL Server on Linux Docker Image to your Mac, then run it as a Docker container. This container is an isolated environment that contains everything SQL Server needs to run. -
Launch Docker
https://treevo487.weebly.com/blog/battlefield-hardline-for-mac-download. Launch Docker the same way you’d launch any other application (eg, via the Applications folder, the Launchpad, etc).When you open Docker, you might be prompted for your password so that Docker can install its networking components and links to the Docker apps. Google gmail download for mac. Go ahead and provide your password, as Docker needs this to run. -
Increase the Memory
By default, Docker will have 2GB of memory allocated to it. SQL Server needs at least 3.25GB. To be safe, increase it to 4GB if you can.To do this:- Select Preferences from the little Docker icon in the top menu
- Slide the memory slider up to at least 4GB
- Click Apply & Restart
-
Download SQL Server
Now that Docker is installed and its memory has been increased, we can download and install SQL Server for Linux.Open a Terminal window and run the following command.This downloads the latest SQL Server 2019 for Linux Docker image to your computer.You can also check for the latest container version on the Docker website if you wish.Update: When I first wrote this article, I used the following image:Which downloaded SQL Server 2017. Therefore, the examples below reflect that version. -
Launch the Docker Image
Run the following command to launch an instance of the Docker image you just downloaded: https://treevo487.weebly.com/blog/free-download-uninstaller-for-mac.But of course, use your own name and password. Also, if you downloaded a different Docker image, replacemicrosoft/mssql-server-linux
with the one you downloaded.Here’s an explanation of the parameters:-d
- This optional parameter launches the Docker container in daemon mode. This means that it runs in the background and doesn’t need its own Terminal window open. You can omit this parameter to have the container run in its own Terminal window.
--name sql_server_demo
- Another optional parameter. This parameter allows you to name the container. This can be handy when stopping and starting your container from the Terminal.
-e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y'
- The
Y
shows that you agree with the EULA (End User Licence Agreement). This is required in order to have SQL Server for Linux run on your Mac. -e 'SA_PASSWORD=reallyStrongPwd123'
- Required parameter that sets the
sa
database password. -p 1433:1433
- This maps the local port 1433 to port 1433 on the container. This is the default TCP port that SQL Server uses to listen for connections.
microsoft/mssql-server-linux
- This tells Docker which image to use. If you downloaded a different one, use it instead.
Password Strength
If you get the following error at this step, try again, but with a stronger password.I received this error when usingreallyStrongPwd
as the password (but of course, it’s not a really strong password!). I was able to overcome this by adding some numbers to the end. However, if it wasn’t just a demo I’d definitely make it stronger than a few dictionary words and numbers. -
Check the Docker container (optional)
You can type the following command to check that the Docker container is running.If it’s up and running, it should return something like this: -
Install sql-cli (unless already installed)
Run the following command to install the sql-cli command line tool. This tool allows you to run queries and other commands against your SQL Server instance.This assumes you have NodeJs installed. If you don’t, download it from Nodejs.org first. Installing NodeJs will automatically install npm which is what we use in this command to install sql-cli.Permissions Error?
If you get an error, and part of it reads something likePlease try running this command again as root/Administrator
, try again, but this time prependsudo
to your command: -
Connect to SQL Server
Now that sql-cli is installed, we can start working with SQL Server via the Terminal window on our Mac.Connect to SQL Server using themssql
command, followed by the username and password parameters.You should see something like this:This means you’ve successfully connected to your instance of SQL Server. -
Run a Quick Test
Run a quick test to check that SQL Server is up and running and you can query it.For example, you can run the following command to see which version of SQL Server your running:If it’s running, you should see something like this (but of course, this will depend on which version you’re running):If you see a message like this, congratulations — SQL Server is now up and running on your Mac!
A SQL Server GUI for your Mac – Azure Data Studio
Azure Data Studio (formerly SQL Operations Studio) is a free GUI management tool that you can use to manage SQL Server on your Mac. You can use it to create and manage databases, write queries, backup and restore databases, and more.
Azure Data Studio is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
https://treevo487.weebly.com/blog/football-manager-2013-download-mac. Here are some articles/tutorials I’ve written for Azure Data Studio:
Another Free SQL Server GUI – DBeaver
Another SQL Server GUI tool that you can use on your Mac (and Windows/Linux/Solaris) is DBeaver.
DBeaver is a free, open source database management tool that can be used on most database management systems (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Microsoft Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, and more).
I wrote a little introduction to DBeaver, or you can go straight to the DBeaver download page and try it out with your new SQL Server installation.
Limitations of SQL Server for Linux/Mac
SQL Server 2017 for Linux does have some limitations (at least, in its initial release). The Linux release doesn’t include many of the extra services that are available in the Windows release, such as Analysis Services, Reporting Services, etc. Here’s a list of what’s available and what’s not on SQL Server 2017 for Linux.
Another limitation is that SQL Server Management Studio is not available on Mac or Linux. SSMS a full-blown GUI management for SQL Server, and it provides many more features than Azure Data Studio and DBeaver (at least at the time of writing). You can still use SSMS on a Windows machine to connect to SQL Server on a Linux or Mac machine, but you just can’t install it locally on the Linux or Mac machine.
If you need any of the features not supported in SQL Server for Linux, you’ll need SQL Server for Windows. However, you can still run SQL Server for Windows on your Mac by using virtualization software. Here’s how to install SQL Server for Windows on a Mac using VirtualBox.
