Serious question:<p>Can't someone just add database drivers to Sequel Pro? It's far and away the best Database GUI I've ever used and its reliance on MySQL is actually keeping me from moving to PostgreSQL full time.<p>(i.e. <a href="http://www.sequelpro.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sequelpro.com/</a> and <a href="http://www.sequelpro.com/docs/Source_Code" rel="nofollow">http://www.sequelpro.com/docs/Source_Code</a> - a little crazy they're still on SVN but oh well)
This idea is friggin awesome and definitely something I'd pay for. My apps are pretty evenly divided at this point between MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB, and I don't see that trend going away any time soon (we always pick the db that makes the most sense for each particular project). Having them all available in the same app would be amazing.<p>With that in mind, just to warn everyone, this is <i>very</i> alpha-level software. It only supports postgres and redis right now. If you put the wrong credentials in, there's no feedback, it just seems like nothing happened. Also, trying to resize the window turned everything white for me and the app had to be rebooted.<p>If you decide to use it (and please do, because I want this to work), be sure to have your Mac's system log opened in console, so you can see what's going on.<p>UPDATE: Looks like someone has already submitted a pull request for the "no feedback on wrong credentials" bug I mentioned [1], and I created a ticket for the resize issue [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/Induction/Induction/pull/8" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Induction/Induction/pull/8</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/Induction/Induction/issues/10" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Induction/Induction/issues/10</a>
"for Mac OS X" breaks my heart, because this is exactly the kind of open-source DB client I want on Linux.<p>At least I can use this when I'm on my Air, but I recently went looking for a multi-DB client app like this for Linux, and this looks like what I was <i>wishing</i> I would find.
Isn't this just reinventing ODBC?<p>Back in the day you could whip together an app like this using Borland's dev tools in literally a matter of minutes, and it worked with any data source configured on your system.<p>And I think there's a YouTube video that has Steve Jobs demoing that same sort of data access using only Interface Builder on NeXTSTEP.<p>What am I missing?
Does anyone have an actual build of this? I just uninstalled XCode this morning and replaced it with Apple's new CLI dev tools, otherwise I'd try building it myself.
Wonder if I'll be able to get this working with Oracle. Unfortunately (believe me, I've complained and hope to change it in the future) I have to use Oracle at work. Would love to use this.
I wonder if this could be used to hook up something Excel-ish to a DB backend.<p>I use Excel frequently to model and ask "what-if" questions but I often wish I could store/retrieve information dynamically from a DB. (The ODBC connectors that Excel has leave much to be desired).<p>For my use case, that would be the holy grail.
Looks interesting, but there are no binaries and the XCode project didn't compile right away.<p>(I guess, being a software developer, I should go and try to figure out what's breaking the building process. On the other hand, I've never used XCode and don't know enough about OS X library management to figure out broken deps)
For someone thinking about building a java version - this might help: <a href="http://schemacrawler.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://schemacrawler.sourceforge.net/</a><p>(I don't think that it supports noSQL.)
This would have been great when I was taking the Stanford DB class a few months ago.<p>I like it, looks much nicer than any of the solutions I'm aware of currently.
DbVisualizer is a nice RDBMS client that is cross platform, supports many databases, graphs table relations, and comes in a free or $$ flavor:<p><a href="http://www.dbvis.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dbvis.com/</a>
Very cool. This is my current suite of DB apps:<p>- Navicat
- PGAdmin III
- SeqlPro<p>Looks like I will add this as a fourth. Big win on the visualization feature!
It should be noted somewhere that this project currently appears to only work on OS X Lion due to usage of a few Lion-specific classes, namely NSOrderedSet.
