Switching · TablePro

Switching from TablePro.

Your TablePro connections come over, with their SSH and SSL settings. Passwords stay in TablePro: you type each one once, and it goes to your Keychain.

Three steps

  1. Install saferow from the download page. The free tier needs no account and no license.
  2. Choose File › Import from Sequel Ace, TablePlus or TablePro… Your TablePro connections are listed first. Press Set up on one.
  3. Connect once. saferow checks every step, from SSH to Safe reads, and saves the connection only when it works. If a step fails, it says which and how to fix it.

What comes over

  • Every MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres and SQLite connection: engine, host, port, user, database and the SQLite file’s path. Sample connections are skipped.
  • SSH settings: host, user and port; a connection that requires SSL keeps requiring it.
  • Your ~/.ssh/config hosts, folded into servers.

What doesn’t

  • Passwords and SSH key files: choose the key and type the password once; both stay in your Keychain.
  • Connections to the other engines TablePro supports.
  • Saved queries, colours, groups and tags.
  • Environment labels: saferow guesses which connections are production and asks you.

What’s different day to day

  • Agent writes are decided by a kernel: dry-run, counted, and held for one approval bound to the count.
  • Rewind is in the free tier.
  • saferow sends no telemetry, so there is nothing to turn off.

Nothing in TablePro is changed: saferow reads its list and leaves it as it was. saferow and TablePro, compared.
