Introduce Database Tool(MySQL, MariaDB)with M1 Mac OS

Sequel Ace from App Store

When handling datas, using database tool is pretty helpful than accessing it directly via terminal. There are a lot of famous tools such as DBeaver, MySQL Workbench, Sequel Pro, etc. But i found they almost didn’t work on M1 Mac Because It’s been only half year M1 processor came out the world.

I installed 3 tools i said before. DBeaver and MySQL Workbench didn’t work perfectly, Sequel Pro worked first but it occurred Force Quit few minutes later.

So I tried to find which one is working on M1. While searching on google, I found out there’s someone getting same issue with me. And it included the solution which i have to install as well.

On M1 Mac Unable to load tables after connecting to database · Issue #3764 · sequelpro/sequelpro
