How can I connect to a remote SQL server using Mac OS X? I don't really need a GUI, but it would be nice to have for the color coding and resultset grid. I'd rather not have to use a VM.

Is there a SQL client for Mac OS X that works with MS SQL Server?

  • If you happen to use JetBrains products (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PHPStorm) they have a nice DB tool built in. I managed to connect to Azure SQL / MSSQL Server with it with two clicks. Their upcoming product 0xDBE looks promising, too. – Paweł Rychlik Sep 28 '15 at 22:32

Let's work together on a canonical answer.

Native Apps

Java-Based

Electron-Based

    SQuirreL SQL and all other Java-based clients I've tried so far for connecting to ODBC DBs simply don't work on OS X. They all complain about the JDBC/ODBC driver missing. Maybe it's just my computer…? – Garrett Albright Sep 16 '08 at 15:40

    Not just your computer. I can't get any of the Java ones to work either. – TheSmurf Oct 30 '08 at 20:10

    +1 for SQuirreL. With Oracle SQL Developer I can connect to DB and get names of all tables, but can't connect to any of them. SQuirreL works great for me. (I have downloaded the jtds driver from http://jtds.sourceforge.net and my connection string is like 'jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://sqlServer.myDomain.com:1433;DatabaseName=MY_DATABASE;domain=windowsDomainName') – Jan Jan 19 '11 at 14:57

    @Garrett: MS also offers an [MSSQL JDBC driver](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/aa937724). Install sqljdbc4.jar (sqljdbc.jar for [JRE 5.0](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378422.aspx)) somewhere you keep Java packages (such as ~/Library/Java or /Library/Java/Extensions). Whichever driver you pick, make sure you add it to the "Extra Class Path" list for the [MSSQL driver](http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/user-manual/quick_start.html#the_driver), then pick the class name for the driver at the bottom of the same dialog. – outis Feb 05 '11 at 13:45

    Squirrel is great except for the inevitable messing around trying to find the right JDBC driver, putting it in the right place, telling Squirrel about it, then trying to set up a JDBC connection with. If you're using it regularly, it's fine. If you use Squirrel infrequently, and usually on a new machine, it's a hassle. – Steve Bennett Oct 06 '11 at 03:49
  • I use Squirrel regularly as my organization works on an older database and we are moving to open source platform. RazorSQL looks amazing and is a breadth of fresh air compared to Squirrel.. too bad it's not free. – Munim Mar 12 '13 at 06:48
  • Do NOT install Squirrel with Homebrew Cask. It's not what you're looking for...You've been warned. – blockloop Sep 17 '14 at 13:25

    I use Squirrel and it works, but today I realize that it uses a lot of CPU. Take a look: http://grab.by/CFVQ It's been 6 hours since I started the process and right now i'm not using it, but it's using a lot of CPU time :/ I'm looking for an alternative now. – cgajardo Dec 01 '14 at 19:25
  • For what its worth, I use RazorSQL daily on my Mac for enterprise web application development, and it works great. I'm sure the others work well too, but I can only vouch for RazorSQL. – molaro Dec 10 '15 at 20:02

The Java-based Oracle SQL Developer has a plugin module that supports SQL Server. I use it regularly on my Mac. It's free, too.

Here's how to install the SQL Server plugin:

  • Run SQL Developer
  • go to this menu item: Oracle SQL Developer/Preferences/Database/Third-party JDBC Drivers
  • Click help.
  • It will have pointers to the JAR files for MySQL, SQL Server, etc.
  • The SQL Server JAR file is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/

  • I'd also like to add to make sure that the .jar file is in a directory that your user account has the proper rights to. I tried to add the jar inside the sql developer package and it wouldn't work. I moved it to my Users folder under a lib directory and it worked like a charm. – bittersweetryan Jan 06 '12 at 20:14

    There's a new current version (**jtds-1.3.1.jar.zip**) which does work with Oracle SQL developer. Just unzip it and in your settings Tools/Preferences/Database/Third Party JDBC Drivers point to the unzipped .jar file/folder. – Dannid Nov 19 '13 at 00:38

  • 2
    @Basti You're free to lie on the registration form, or use bugmenot.com – Dustin Rasener Feb 25 '15 at 20:03
  • @Dustin Rasener I'm pretty sure that providing false account information is a breach of the license you have to accept in order to download the software. I agree that this is an option because Oracle will probably not do anything about it, but it's still illegal. – Basti Jun 08 '15 at 11:22
  • Just to clarify and correct, it is not illegal, it is breach of contract. i.e. They could theoretically sue you in civil court (if they can find you) but there are no criminal penalties. (unless you also violate some actual law, like copyright) No company can summarily implement their own laws. – Justin Ohms May 04 '16 at 17:21
  • Oracle SQL Developer is brilliant, and was the most attractive/full featured of the free ones I researched. However I couldn't use it in the end as it doesn't allow for some MSSQL specific keywords such as BEGIN, END, GO, etc. It also can’t handle multiple resultsets returned from a stored procedure etc. It really depends on your environment and what existing sql scripts you're working with. But if your scripts/environment contain the above mentioned, it won't work for you. – Manachi May 11 '16 at 06:08
  • apparently SQLDeveloper only supports up to MS SQL Server 12. see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27931891/sql-developer-connector-to-sql-server-2012-error-vendor-code-207/31589617#31589617.

This will be the second question in a row I've answered with this, so I think it's worth pointing out that I have no affiliation with this product, but I use it and love it and think it's the right answer to this question too: DbVisualizer.

    The MS SQL JDBC drivers are **always** painful to work with. 1. Download `sqljdbc4.jar` from [Microsoft](https://www.google.com/#q=mssql+jdbc4​). 2. Add a new new **Driver** inside SQuirreL, where you will need to cherry pick the downloaded JAR from your file system under the **Extra Classpath** section. You will also need to specify the driver class which is `com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver`. 3. ... 4. Profit. – smeeb Jul 15 '15 at 18:46

When this question was asked there were very few tools out there were worth much. I also ended up using Fusion and a Windows client. I have tried just about everything for MAC and Linux and never found anything worthwhile. That included dbvisualizer, squirrel (particularly bad, even though the windows haters in my office swear by it), the oracle SQL developer and a bunch of others. Nothing compared to DBArtizan on Windows as far as I was concerned and I was prepared to use it with Fusion or VirtualBox. I don't use the MS product because it is only limited to MS SQL.

Bottom line is nothing free is worthwhile, nor were most commercial non windows products

However, now (March 2010) I believe there are two serious contenders and worthwhile versions for the MAC and Linux which have a low cost associated with them. The first one is Aqua Data Studio which costs about $450 per user, which is a barely acceptable, but cheap compared to DBArtizan and others with similar functionality (but MS only). The other is RazorSQL which only costs $69 per user. Aqua data studio is good, but a resource hog and basically pretty sluggish and has non essential features such as the ER diagram tool, which is pretty bad at that. The Razor is lightning fast and is only a 16meg download and has everything an SQL developer needs including a TSQL editor.

So the big winner is RazorSQL and for $69, well worth it and feature ridden. Believe me, after several years of waiting to find a cheap non windows substitute for DBartizan, I have finally found one and I have been very picky.

My employer produces a simple, proof-of-concept HTML5-based SQL client which can be used against any ODBC data source on the web-browser host machine, through the HTML5 WebDB-to-ODBC Bridge we also produce. These components are free, for Mac, Windows, and more.

Applicable to many of the other answers here -- the Type 1 JDBC-to-ODBC Bridge that most are referring to is the one Sun built in to and bundled with the JVM. JVM/JRE/JDK documentation has always advised against using this built-in except in experimental scenarios, or when no other option exists, because this component was built as a proof-of-concept, and was never intended for production use.

My employer makes an enterprise-grade JDBC-to-ODBC Bridge, available as either a Single-Tier (installs entirely on the client application host) or a Multi-Tier (splits components over the client application host and the ODBC data source host, enabling JDBC client applications in any JVM to use ODBC data sources on Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.). This solution isn't free.

All of the above can be used with the ODBC Drivers for Sybase & Microsoft SQL Server (or other databases) we also produce ...

Squirrel SQL is a Java based SQL client, that I've had good experience with on Windows and Linux. Since it's Java, it should do the trick.

It's open source. You can run multiple sessions with multiple databases concurrently.

I like SQLGrinder.

It's built using Cocoa, so it looks a lot better and feels more like an Mac OS X application than all the Java-based application mentioned here.

It uses JDBC drivers to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, FrontBase, MySQL, OpenBase, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Sybase.

Free trial or $59.

When this question was asked, Microsoft's Remote Desktop for OS X had been unsupported for years. It wasn't a Universal Binary, and I found it to be somewhat buggy (I recall that the application will just quit after a failed connection instead of allowing you to alter the connection info and try again).

At the time I recommended the Open Source CoRD, a good RDP client for Mac.

Since then Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for Mac 2 was released.

    I do realize that this answer is old, but deserves to be updated. Remote Desktop for OS X *is* supported, and a new version has been released within the last year. It's a Universal Binary, it's lightning fast, and has just about every feature of its Windows counterpart. – mmc May 20 '09 at 12:06

Not sure about open-source, but I've heard good things about http://www.advenio.com/sqlgrinder/ (not tried it, I prefer to write Python scripts to try things out rather than use GUIs;-).

I use Eclipse's Database development plugins - like all Java based SQL editors, it works cross platform with any type 4 (ie pure Java) JDBC driver. It's ok for basic stuff (the main failing is it struggles to give transaction control -- auto-commit=true is always set it seems).

Microsoft have a decent JDBC type 4 driver: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6D483869-816A-44CB-9787-A866235EFC7C&displaylang=en this can be used with all Java clients / programs on Win/Mac/Lin/etc.

Those people struggling with Java/JDBC on a Mac are presumably trying to use native drivers instead of JDBC ones -- I haven't used (or practically heard of) the ODBC driver bridge in almost 10 years.

This doesn't specifically answer your question, because I'm not sure in any clients exist in Mac OS X, but I generally just Remote Desktop into the server and work through that. Another option is VMware Fusion (which is much better than Parallels in my opinion) + Windows XP + SQL Server Management Studio.

It may not be the best solution if you don't already have it, but FileMaker 11 with the Actual SQL Server ODBC driver (http://www.actualtech.com/product_sqlserver.php) worked nicely for a client of mine today. The ODBC driver is only $29, but FileMaker is $299, which is why you might only consider it if you already have it.

I've used Eclipse with the Quantum-DB plugins for that purpose since I was already using Eclipse anyway.

Ed: phpMyAdmin is for MySQL, but the asker needs something for Microsoft SQL Server.

Most solutions that I found involve using an ODBC Driver and then whatever client application you use. For example, Gorilla SQL claims to be able to do that, even though the project seems abandoned.

Most good solutions are either using Remote Desktop or VMware/Parallels.

    The download link for Gorilla SQL seems to be broken. VersionTracker is using the same link, so that one's broken as well. Hacking the URL seems to show the whole site is down… Know of any working download locations? – Garrett Albright Sep 16 '08 at 15:28

Try CoRD and modify what you want directly from the server.

It's open source.

For MySQL, there is Querious and Sequel Pro. The former costs US$25, and the latter is free. You can find a comparison of them here, and a list of some other Mac OS X MySQL clients here.

Since there currently isn't a MS SQL client for Mac OS X, I would, as Modesty has suggested, use Remote Desktop for the Mac.

    While Remote Desktop is a workaround, there do exist applications which can connect to MSSQL (as you can tell from the other responses). – Patrick Farrell Feb 24 '15 at 21:23
