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.

Two options you may want to consider are:

  • SQuirrelSQL (Free) - not a bad tool. Written in Java and able to connect to any DB for which a JDBC driver exists.
  • Aqua Data Studio (not Free) - this is probably one of the best all round SQL/Databae management tools around. It allows you to connect to any DB for which a java jdbc driver exists. However, it isn't free.
