Almost everything I write, from programs to SQL to HTML to email, I do in emacs. I’ve tried to get Teams chat working but it just isn’t reliable so I use a browser for that.

Do you have any resources for your sql workflow in emacs? I use eMacs for everything else, but keep going back to dbeaver whenever I write SQL or interact with PostgreSQL. All the tutorials I’ve turned up seem to be doing simple things with small tables, rather than a more complex workflow. I’m sure there are ways to use emacs effectively for SQL but I just can’t find out how.
Not really. I write SQL in text files, manage them in version control (git these days, but in the past it has been mercurial or subversion, doesn't really matter) and execute them in psql via a SQLi postgres buffer (emacs comint mode that wraps a psql command shell in a buffer).
I haven't used (or heard of) dbeaver but took a quick look at it and I have tried other SQL tools that seem similar. Never really felt they gave me much.
I like keeping my tools very simple.
The main thing that I like is that it gives you nice table autocomplete as well as some nice metadata. As well as some connection management stuff. And it drives me mad because I am sure there must be a way to get the psql autocomplete to work in a buffer, but I have never managed it.
i would pay real money to get teams chat in emacs (though I'd pay more to get my customers to stop using teams)
