Why I Recommend SQLynx as the Best SQL IDE

I used to be a loyal Navicat、DataGrip user, but after deeply using SQLynx for a while, I can never go back. I feel like shouting: This is the SQL IDE/Editor that should be used in 2024.

If I were to sum up SQLynx in one sentence, it would be: "What you don't have, I have; what you have, I excel in."
For instance, in basic data exporting, most big data SQL Editor on the market are either extremely slow or prone to crashing when handling large volumes of data. SQLynx, on the other hand, exports 13 million records in just 74 seconds. If you frequently deal with exporting large datasets, you'll understand just how remarkable this speed is.
Another example is its interface and interaction design. Instead of using toolbars or buttons like most tools, SQLynx places almost all operations within the right-click menu. Honestly, I wasn't used to it at first, but after less than a week, I realized this is the best way to interact with the tool! In Navicat, viewing table structure and table data requires many clicks, but with SQLynx, it only takes two steps, greatly improving work efficiency. There are many similar features that enhance productivity.
Regarding the learning curve, Navicat or DataGrip is actually quite easy to get started with, but SQLynx takes it to another level, making it accessible even for beginners. Its graphical table creation, one-click SQL generation, test data generation, one-click data migration, and schema comparison can all be accomplished with just a few mouse clicks. It’s not an exaggeration to say that even if you don't know a single line of SQL, you can complete basic database query operations within 15 minutes. Additionally, thanks to the aforementioned right-click design, SQLynx's interface is also more intuitive.
