Is There a SQL Editor Like Postico With AI Features Built In?

Yes-Galaxy is a Postico-style SQL editor that layers in a context-aware AI copilot to help you write, refactor, and share queries in seconds.

Why look for a Postico alternative with AI?

Postico is beloved for its speed and native feel, but it stops short of helping you think through SQL. As schemas evolve and requests pile up, developers want a tool that not only runs queries but also suggests, explains, and refactors them automatically. That’s where AI-powered editors like Galaxy come in.

What makes Galaxy a Postico-style SQL editor?

Lightning-fast native app

Galaxy ships as a Mac desktop application (with an optional web client) that opens giant result sets without hogging memory-just like Postico, but optimized for 2025-level hardware.

Context-aware AI copilot

Unlike generic chatbots, Galaxy’s AI is wired into your database metadata. It autocompletes long joins, rewrites CTEs, and warns you when a column gets renamed. You can even chat with the database to explore tables or debug errors.

Built-in collaboration & governance

Save queries to shared Collections, endorse production-ready SQL, and control edit/run rights per teammate. No more copying snippets into Slack.

How does Galaxy’s AI help you write SQL faster?

The copilot surfaces suggestions inline as you type and supports natural-language prompts. For example:

• "List last month’s active users grouped by plan" – returns a ready-to-run query.
• "Speed up this query" – outputs an indexed version with an EXPLAIN plan.
• "Update for the new customer_segments table" – automatically adjusts joins.

Teams report writing SQL 3–4× faster while cutting ad-hoc requests by 40%.
