Re: Database Tooling

Thanks Mark.

I was aware that it was free and has been for some time - but there is no Mac version (although rumour says real soon now) and it is not exactly "IBM i friendly".

I tried to persuade the Rochester folks to use it as a base instead of doing a new version of Run SQL scripts - sadly I failed to persuade them.

Hi, Jon,

It appears that IBM Data Studio is now completely free of charge. See:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/im/data/index.html

Are there some features or functions that you need that it does not provide?

See also (pay-for products, but reasonably priced at < $600 each per "seat"):

and

Hope that helps,

Justin,
Hate to be moderating again, however I think Jon is mainly looking for Entity Relation Diagrams, etc. For example, if you have Referential Integrity set up between OrderLine, OrderHeader, CustomerMaster, ItemMaster, ItemClass, etc a good tool should be able to show you all those relations graphically.
Does SQuirreL have these?

The two tools are definitely within the same class. I don't think Run SQL Scripts has content assist or editing. SQuirreL has good export options. It's cross-platform so I can also use it for SQL Server. It shows the data types of results, but that's more a benefit for SQL Server.

I looked at Squirrel a while back but it seemed to offer little more than Run SQL scripts etc. What am I missing?

I use SQuirreL (http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/). It's basically just a JDBC client. It has content assist and allows editing of tables via the result set from a query.
