### AI overview

The author describes moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL and finding that Postico makes the transition easier. Postico is presented as a graphical tool for viewing and editing database data, including row-level changes, and as an alternative to building a web form for simple database updates.

### Source excerpt

Despite my mildly fanatical adherence to MySQL, there really is nothing wrong with Postgres and quite a bit to like. Given that Postgres is the default database for Heroku, I am spending more and more time using Postgres these days. What I've found is that my resistance to Postgres, more than anything else, was simply that I was really, really used to the MySQL command line and shell. What I've found is that if you pair Postico with Postgres then it makes a very easy transition from MySQL. Postico is a wonderfully written app (yes I'm a paid user now) that provides a great DB viewing and manipulation tool right down to row level editing. I found myself today, rather than writing a web form to update the database simply editing the data with Postico. Given how easily I generate CRUD apps, that's a pretty big step for me. Recommended.
