II. Detailed Installation Tutorial

To ensure stable software operation, please follow the steps below to complete the installation. This tutorial has been tested on macOS Ventura 13.x and higher.

2.1 System Requirements and Preparation

Before starting the installation, please confirm that your Mac meets the following conditions:

• Operating System: macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later.
• Processor: Intel or Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) chip.
• Memory: At least 4GB RAM, 8GB or more recommended.
• Disk Space: At least 500MB available space.
• Network: Internet connection required to download the software package.

It is recommended to temporarily disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) in advance, but general users do not need to do this and can install directly.

2.2 Download and Installation Steps

1. Download the software package: Click the download link on this page to obtain the DMG image file for SQLEditor v3.3.12. The file size is approximately 80MB.
2. Mount the image: Double-click the downloaded .dmg file, and the system will automatically mount it and pop up the installation window.
3. Drag to install: Drag the SQLEditor icon on the left to the Applications folder on the right. Wait for the progress bar to complete.
4. First launch: Open Launchpad, find the SQLEditor icon, and click it. If the system prompts “Cannot verify developer,” go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General” and click “Open Anyway.”
5. Activate license: After the software starts, an activation window will pop up. Enter the activation code we provide (located in the ReadMe file inside the download package) and click “Activate” to complete authorization.
6. Complete installation: After successful activation, the software will automatically enter the main interface. It is recommended to restart your Mac once to ensure all components load properly.

If you are using an Apple Silicon Mac, SQLEditor has native support and does not require Rosetta translation, resulting in higher operating efficiency.

2.3 Post-Installation Verification

After opening the software, click “Help” > “About SQLEditor” in the menu bar and confirm that the version number displays 3.3.12. Then, try creating a new project and check whether the toolbar responds normally. If everything goes well, congratulations on a successful installation!

III. Common FAQ

We have compiled the 10 most frequently reported issues from users to help you troubleshoot quickly.

3.1 Unable to open after installation, prompting “File is damaged”?

This is due to macOS Gatekeeper security restrictions. Please open Terminal and enter the command: sudo spctl --master-disable, then enter your password. After that, reopen the software. If the problem persists, try re-downloading the DMG file, as data may have been corrupted during download.

3.2 Activation code invalid or expired?

Please check whether you copied extra spaces. Activation codes are case-sensitive, so it is recommended to copy and paste directly. If it is still invalid, please contact our customer service email with your purchase order number, and we will update the activation code for you.

3.3 Does the software support a Chinese interface?

SQLEditor currently mainly provides an English interface but supports Unicode encoding. You can use Chinese names in data table fields, and they will display correctly when exporting SQL scripts. Future versions may add multilingual support.

3.4 How to import structures from an existing database?

Click “File” > “Import” > “From Database” in the menu bar. Enter the database connection information (host, port, username, password), select the database to import, and click “Connect.” The software will automatically parse the table structure and generate an ER diagram.

3.5 Garbled characters when exporting SQL scripts?

Make sure to select the correct character set in the export settings. UTF-8 encoding is recommended. In the “Export” dialog, find the “Encoding” option and select “UTF-8.” Also check whether the database’s default character set is consistent.

3.6 Software lagging or crashing?

First, update macOS to the latest version. Then try resetting the software preferences: close the software, go to ~/Library/Preferences/ in Finder, and delete the com.malcolmhardie.SQLEditor.plist file. Restart the software. If it crashes frequently, check memory usage and close other large applications.

3.7 Can project files be shared between Mac and Windows?

Yes. SQLEditor project files are in .sqleditor format and are cross-platform. You only need to transfer the file via cloud storage or USB drive. Note, however, that the Windows version requires a separate license purchase.

3.8 How to back up my database design?

Regularly export project files as SQL scripts or PDF documents. It is recommended to use Time Machine to automatically back up the entire ~/Documents/SQLEditor/ folder. Additionally, you can sync project files to iCloud or Dropbox.

3.9 Activation code invalid after software update?

Major version updates (e.g., 3.x to 4.x) usually require re-activation. Minor version updates (e.g., 3.3.11 to 3.3.12) generally do not. If you encounter this issue, please re-enter the original activation code. If it is still invalid, contact customer service for a new code.

3.10 How to uninstall SQLEditor?

Drag SQLEditor from the Applications folder to the Trash. Then manually delete residual files: go to ~/Library/Application Support/SQLEditor/ and ~/Library/Preferences/com.malcolmhardie.SQLEditor.plist. Finally, empty the Trash.
