GtkSQL
======
GtkSQL is a graphical database query tool. The databases currently supported
are:
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite
A list of changes from version 0.0 is in the Changelog file. Feel free to mail
me for any comments / questions / bug reports / improvements requests you have.
The GtkSQL homepage is at http//gtksql.sourceforge.net/
Installation :
--------------
GtkSQL uses the autoconf system to ease configuration on different systems. To
install:
./configure
make
make install
On systems that support RPM, there is also an RPM distribution available. If
running a recent version of RedHat Linux on an intel system, download the
binary (i386) RPM and run:
rpm -Uvh gtksql-0.3.1.i386.rpm
If on another RPM supporting system, download the source RPM and rebuild it:
rpm --rebuild gtksql-0.3.1.src.rpm
You will need the RPM build packages, and the development packages for the
databases you wish to use, installed to do this.
Instructions :
--------------
- The connect / disconnect menus are quite straightforward. When you leave the
database host and port empty, it should use your environment variable
defaults or the "factory" defaults.
- You can work on multiple queries simultaneously. Each button of the toolbar
has an equivalent in keyboard shortcuts :
Alt-s = Send = sends the current query to the database
Alt-n = New = adds a new query
Alt-d = Delete = deletes current query
Alt-r = Rename = renames current query
Alt-e = Export = exports current query
Alt-t = displays the table information for the table whose name is under
the cursor.
Alt-left / right arrows = move to the next or previous query
TAB = SQL keyword, table name and field name autocompletion
(I am a keyboard junkie, so you should be able to do everything without
using your mouse in GtkSQL)
Refresh = rescans the table database.
Well, that's it for now...
