I know, what I was asking is if this is something professionals actually use.

Like, you can make websites graphically with DreamWeaver (or something), but I think most people say that you're better off using HTML and CSS and whatnot if you know how to use that.

Is this GUI stuff something people who are good at SQL actually use or is this mostly for new people?



I used to write a ton of SQL and I could write a query for anything you asked for, no matter how incompatible the schema was to your request.

My first step was to look at the data using the UI. Then when I tested my queries, I also just ran them in the UI.

It’s just faster.

I never used the UI for “simple” queries since there wasn’t anything to test.
