As others said before DBeaver is written using Java 17 and maybe you can compile it whith OpenJDK 17 and Maven. DBeaver is based on Eclipse and it is also available as eclipse plugin. Many of these Database GUI's are based on java and so maybe you can find something you like. There is also HeiSQL which is written in pascal. Many years ago i compiled that beast with lazarus and it runs fine ;-) There are PHP based database GUI's. E.g. there is Adminer. Just one single php file to drop in your webserver. But in the end it all depends on what you expect from such a tool. >From my experience (which you can safely ignore for sure) i can suggest: if you really want to use a database then you have to use the tools provided by this database. The time learning such all-purpose database management tools is better invested in learning the quirks of the specific DBMS you want to use. I find this is true for postgresql, oracle and sql-server.
