Postgres client linux client

Linux downloads (Debian)

PostgreSQL is available in all Debian versions by default. However, the stable versions of Debians «snapshot» a specific version of PostgreSQL that is then supported throughout the lifetime of that Debian version. The PostgreSQL project also maintains an apt repository with all supported of PostgreSQL available.

PostgreSQL Apt Repository

If the version included in your version of Debian is not the one you want, you can use the PostgreSQL Apt Repository. This repository will integrate with your normal systems and patch management, and provide automatic updates for all supported versions of PostgreSQL throughout the support lifetime of PostgreSQL.

The PostgreSQL apt repository supports the currently supported stable versions of Debian:

on the following architectures:

To use the apt repository, follow these steps:

# Create the file repository configuration: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list' # Import the repository signing key: wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add - # Update the package lists: sudo apt-get update # Install the latest version of PostgreSQL. # If you want a specific version, use 'postgresql-12' or similar instead of 'postgresql': sudo apt-get -y install postgresql

For more information about the apt repository, including answers to frequent questions, please see the apt page on the wiki.

Included in distribution

Best GUI Clients for PostgreSQL on Ubuntu

Written in C, PostgreSQL which is also known as Postgres is one of the most popular relational database management systems. macOS server has it as default database and is also available for other operating systems such as Windows, FreeBCD, OpenBCD and Linux. As PostgreSQL is one of the most used database management systems in the world, it is used as the backbone of many small to large applications and software’s.

Even though I feel working in command-line is best way to learn anything in the world of application and software development, there are some limitations while working with databases in command-line. It requires great experience of working in command-line or it could get really messy for newbies as well as for professionals.

• Coding can be messy and confusing through command-line.
• Managing and browsing through databases and tables could be difficult to handle.
• Not everyone likes command-line window and finds it difficult to work on.

But GUI clients overcome these shortcomings of working in command-line and in addition to that offers some really great features which makes whole task of handling databases easier. Easy to use user interface, shortcut keys, easy access to files and databases are one of the key features that make GUI clients popular over command-line methods. So in this article I’m going to give you 5 best GUI clients for PostgreSQL which you can download and install on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
