Well at work we've got Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL and Postgres. So I
generally use Aqua Data Studio because it works with all of them. For
MySQL and MS SQL you register a single connection to the server and can
switch to any database. But with Postgres, you have to register a new
connection for every database because you can't switch once connected.
I just figured that if even Microsoft can do it, surely we can.
