PostgreSQL graphical user interface (GUI) tools help open source database users to manage, manipulate, and visualize their data. In this post, we discuss the top 6 GUI tools for administering your PostgreSQL deployments. PostgreSQL is the fourth most popular database management system in the world, and heavily used in all sizes of applications from small to large. The traditional method to work with databases is using the command-line interface (CLI) tool, however, this interface presents a number of issues:

• It requires a big learning curve to get the best out of the DBMS.
• Console display may not be something of your liking, and it only gives very little information at a time.
• It is difficult to browse databases and tables, check indexes, and monitor databases through the console.

Many still prefer CLIs over GUIs, but this set is ever shrinking. I believe anyone who came into programming after 2010 will tell you GUI tools increase their productivity over a CLI solution.
