What you can do with HeidiSQL
A. Multi Databases Support
Well, you can do a lot of things with this software. First, connect this database manager with your database server. You can connect to multiple databases both locally or remotely. This software also supports SSH tunnel to connect to your server securely.
B. Database and Table Creator
The database creator, as well as table creator, are very helpful for DB admin to complete their tasks quickly. You can also edit existing tables, add more fields, delete fields etc.
C. Data Editor
The built-in data editor lets us edit the data directly from HeidiSQL easily.

Want to build a simple to complex query? No problemo, HeidiSQL will help you to build a complex or simple query at no time.
Final Thoughts
HeidiSQL is a great piece of software that allows us to work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. And it’s available for FREE. You can spend few hundreds of dollars to get all these three if you purchase the commercial software. But with HeidiSQL, you don’t have to pay anything.
Well, I cannot say that this software is perfect. It takes me a few hours of trying to get myself used to it. And it actually needs some works on some areas. See if HeidiSQL 9.5 suit your needs by download and install this software. Share your thoughts here on this blog.
