This may be a potentially great product, but MS SQL and Oracle already have several management and Query UIs. Oracle even has one written in java. It's pretty good too, just not a fast as toad.
You know which database could really benefit from a tool like this ? Firebird. I can't find a native UI on the Mac for Firebird. There are some all purpose ones written in java, but not one that supports all of the firebird specific features.
I have to use a very good product written for windows via parrallels to easily manage my firebird DB.
I'd pay for such product, but my oracle and sql server needs are meet already once I buy their product.
