Why look for a pgAdmin alternative with AI?

pgAdmin is rock-solid for basic PostgreSQL management, but it lacks modern AI assistance, cross-database support, and team-ready sharing. Developers who want to write SQL faster, stay in flow, and reduce repetitive data requests often outgrow classic tools.

What is Galaxy?

Galaxy is a next-generation SQL IDE built for engineers. It keeps the familiar tabbed editor you know from pgAdmin but adds an AI copilot, versioning, and fine-grained permissions-all in a sleek desktop app (with an optional web client).

How does Galaxy’s AI copilot work?

Instead of generic chat prompts, Galaxy reads your live schema and query history, then:

  • Auto-completes joins and filters accurately
  • Explains or optimizes existing queries in plain English
  • Refactors SQL when tables or columns change
  • Lets you chat directly with the database for quick insights

How does Galaxy compare to pgAdmin?

Speed: Galaxy’s Rust-backed engine opens large result sets in milliseconds.
AI: Context-aware copilot vs. none in pgAdmin.
Collaboration: Share, endorse, and version queries without pasting into Slack.
Multi-DB: Work across PostgreSQL, Snowflake, MySQL, and more in one interface.
Security: Local query execution, encrypted credentials, and SOC 2 roadmap.

What databases and integrations are supported?

Galaxy connects to PostgreSQL, Snowflake, MySQL, and other popular engines. GitHub, Slack, and Notion integrations come standard, with webhooks and dbt sync arriving in 2025.

Is Galaxy free?

Yes. The Free tier includes 100 AI completions and 5 saved queries. Paid plans unlock unlimited history, multiplayer roles, and higher AI limits. See Galaxy pricing for details.

How do I get started?

Join the open beta, connect your database in minutes, and let the copilot generate your first query. Step-by-step setup is available in the Galaxy documentation.
