About pgAdmin

pgAdmin is an open-source graphical tool for administering, developing and monitoring PostgreSQL databases. It can run as a desktop application or in server mode, and the homepage lists installers for Windows, macOS, Linux and container images.

The tool covers database object management and SQL work. Users can create, browse and maintain PostgreSQL objects through a graphical interface that shows the generated SQL. Its query tool includes syntax highlighting, auto-completion, query history and a graphical EXPLAIN view. The Windows installer requires a 64-bit version of Windows.
