Re: [Sapforge-general] Hi

[<eds...@mg...>]

Yes, it could be a squirrel-sql modified.

But we have some requirements:

1) The tool need to be extensible as SapDB/MaxDB is. It need to have support for all the
features SapDB/MaxDB offer, now and in the future (ok, this can be acomplished using
squirrel plugins);

2) The tool must follow a UI independence project, so we have by now Swing UI, but we will
have JSP UI very, very near (to substitute WebSQL that simply doesn't work at all - is buggy
and unstable);

3) It need to be fast, easy to understand, configure and work. More, work in the way SapDB
people know it works;

4) Don't depend on JDBC Metadata info, but rely on SapDB System Tables;

5) Be able to design visually the database;

6) Be able to design visually the queries;

7) There is place for other databases in the future. In the way we work, I don't think will
be hard to put support to other databases without increasy complexity.

The version of Squirrel SQL I've used in the past was slow, hi memory consuming, and can't
be extended to work on WEB environment. Maybe actually it's different from the one I've
used. I should double-check.

Actually, the tool is capable to connect to SapDB servers, execute multiple queries, and
edit data directly over tables. We are working on getting objects from database (we already
can view a list of tables, and views, and really near, procedures, UDT, sequences, and
system tables).

The query tool lack a good sql editor, with syntax hilighting, but due the nature of our
project (GPL), there will not be hard to adapt (reuse) one from the web.

At all, (talking just by me, not by the team) I must confess that has been so funny to
implement the Sapforge Studio, and so easy to make it work with all the features I need from
SapDB tool, that I think even group decides to create a plugin for Squirrel SQL, I'll
continue to work on Sapforge Studio.

Again, we can wait and see what the team think about your suggestion, and, of course, I'll
accept any decision made by majority.
