I recently moved my workflow from Windows to macOS. As a longtime Windows user, I've been searching for apps and utilities to replace those that aren't present on macOS so I don't have to utilize a VM or remote into a Windows box to complete tasks. One big hole for me was Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio. My organization uses integrated Windows Authentication for its SQL servers and I couldn't get the SQL Extension to work in Visual Studio Code due to issues with Kerberos. Similar problems occurred with other SQL clients, but DbGate worked out of the box. Admittedly, I fumbled around a bit with the UI since I am so used to SSMS but I've gotten comfortable with it now and have made it a permanent part of my toolbelt. I'd recommend anyone looking for a cross-platform SQL client to give DbGate a shot.
