Compare the Top SQL Editors for Cloud as of October 2025

What are SQL Editors for Cloud?

SQL editors are software tools that enable users to write, edit, and execute Structured Query Language (SQL) queries to interact with databases. These editors provide an interface for managing and manipulating data in relational database management systems (RDBMS), allowing users to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) records in tables. SQL editors often include features like syntax highlighting, query formatting, auto-completion, and debugging tools to make the writing and execution of SQL queries easier and more efficient. Many also offer integration with different databases, support for complex queries, and built-in tools for database design and management. By enhancing the user experience and providing powerful database manipulation capabilities, SQL editors are essential tools for database administrators and developers. Compare and read user reviews of the best SQL Editors for Cloud currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools is an easy to use diff & merge tool for MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS Access and Cross-DBMS databases allowing to compare and sync both schema and data. Starting with a schema changes summary, results can be narrowed down to object lists of particular object type (table definitions, views, etc.), and then down to definition of particular object. Data changes can be retrieved as a high-level list of changes totals across all tables in the database, each total row count can be observed as a side-by-side list of rows for the given table, each changed row can be analyzed for changes in each column. Various diff results provide quick filters to show only new/changed/new+changed items (schema objects or table data rows), ability to select required changed items and generate scripts to apply these changes to the other side database. This script can be executed immediately or saved for future use.

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin is a free software project released under the PostgreSQL/Artistic licence. The software is available in source and binary format from the PostgreSQL mirror network. Because compiling from source requires technical knowledge, we recommend installing binary packages whenever possible. pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world. pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application. As pgAdmin is a web application, it can only interact with the local filesystem in ways that are allowed by modern web browsers. This limits what is possible for security; essentially files can only be "downloaded" or "uploaded" (through a form).

    Postico

    Postico

    Postico

    Postico is a database client. Postico can connect to a local PostgreSQL server running on your Mac, or to remote servers running on a different computer. If you want to install a local PostgreSQL server on your Mac, I recommend Postgres.app. Postgres.app starts a PostgreSQL server running locally on your Mac. The first time it starts it will automatically create a new data directory and set up an empty database. After a few moments, the server will be running and waiting for connections. Postgres.app can't start when another PostgreSQL server is already running on your computer. If you run into problems, make sure to deactivate or uninstall other PostgreSQL installations. Reboot your computer after uninstalling! To connect to a PostgreSQL server with Postico, you must first create a favorite. A favorite contains parameters for connecting to a server. Some connection parameters are optional.
