Yeah, no thanks. I switched to dbeaver already anyway, because pgadmin was annoying about to which postgres versions it could connect. Too much of a hassle to setup a new version from source back when I tried. With dbeaver I just run ./dbeaver from the extracted .tag.gz. dbeaver is also not a web interface, but a real desktop application (Java, though).

When I got the update I looked through the settings and there appears to be no way to disable it. I do not want AI anywhere near my database. I only use it for testing/staging at least so I should hopefully not have to worry about it wrecking production.

Quick fix based on https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/9696#issuecom...

Click on the "Reset layout" button in the query tool (located in the top right corner), and it will move the "AI Assistant" tab to the right. Now, when you query a table, it will default to the Query tab as always.

Switched from DBeaver to DataGrip and I couldn't be happier.

Might as well choose our AI subscription for our tools. I always hated the sparkle icons in Mongodb Compass (db browsing tool), Cloudwatch (logs) etc which is wired to a useless model. So I always chose to write Python scripts to query Postgres and other DBs and render pretty tables to CLI.

No thank you. One of the worst ads for python that exists. The only one worse than pgAdmin is Windows 11.

If I can use this with a local LLM it could be useful.

The only interface that works for me efficiently with LLMs is the chatbot interface. I rather copy and paste snippets into the chat box than have IDEs and other tools guess what I might want to ask AI.

The first thing I do with these integration is look how I can remove them.
