Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Florian, and I'm excited to share **SimplePostgreSQL**.
I built it because I wanted a PostgreSQL client that was fast, lightweight, and focused on the tasks I use every day. Many database tools are incredibly powerful, but they can also feel overwhelming when you just want to connect, browse tables, run queries, and get work done.
With SimplePostgreSQL you can:
* Connect to local and remote PostgreSQL databases.
* Browse databases, schemas, and tables.
* Run SQL queries with a clean, responsive interface.
* Focus on productivity without unnecessary complexity.
This is the first public release, and I'd really appreciate your feedback. If there's a feature you'd like to see or something that could be improved, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks for taking a look! 🚀

how does this handle connection drops or long-running queries when you're mid-edit on a large table

@rseybek97138 Hi, thanks for your message! It uses PostgreSQL’s native client connection pool. Connection attempts time out after 10 seconds, idle connections are closed after 30 seconds, and if a connection drops during a query the query fails cleanly and the error is shown in the app. But long-running queries are currently allowed to run until PostgreSQL finishes or the connection fails; query cancellation and configurable query timeouts are not implemented yet - Thanks for your feedback I will improve this up. Have a great day

finally a postgres client that doesnt feel like it needs a phd to open. the csv import was way smoother than i expected, picked up my weird timestamp format on the first try.
