How to Migrate from PopSQL to SaturnSQL

PopSQL has announced it is moving to limited support and will shut down on September 1, 2026. If you're looking for an alternative to PopSQL, here's how to move your queries to SaturnSQL.

Step 1: Export your queries from PopSQL

In PopSQL, you can download individual SQL queries as .sql files. For each query you want to keep:

1. Open the query in PopSQL
2. Click the menu icon (three dots) on the query
3. Select Download as .sql
4. Save the file to your computer

Repeat this for each query you want to migrate. We recommend creating a folder on your computer to keep all your exported .sql files organized.

Step 2: Create your SaturnSQL account

Sign up for SaturnSQL and connect your database. The setup takes just a few minutes—you'll need your database connection details (host, port, database name, username, and password).

Step 3: Import your queries to SaturnSQL

For each .sql file you exported:

1. Open the .sql file in a text editor
2. Copy the SQL content
3. In SaturnSQL, create a new query
4. Paste your SQL into the editor
5. Save the query with a descriptive name

Once saved, your queries are available to your entire team. You can organize them into folders and add tags to make them easy to find.
