Summary

PopSQL, a popular SQL editor since 2016, will transition to limited support following its acquisition by TigerData, with active development ceasing immediately and the service being retired by September 1, 2026. This decision allows TigerData to integrate PopSQL's features into its Tiger Cloud platform, which is focused on enhancing the cloud console experience for Postgres users. During this transition period, PopSQL will only receive urgent fixes and security patches, with existing queries, databases, and connections remaining functional until the shutdown date. Users are encouraged to export their data using features like GitHub Sync, which is now free for all workspaces, and to evaluate alternative SQL editing platforms as PopSQL will not be available after the specified date. TigerData will not assist with migration to other platforms, but customer support will provide guidance on data export throughout the wind-down period, and users on annual subscriptions will transition to monthly billing automatically.
