Client SQL Tool

From
Date:
Hi all,
 
I’ve started a new codeplex project that could be interesting for you. It’s a simple SQL client for postgreSQL databases.
 
I’ve started with this project, because i want to improve my WPF skills and create something useful for the postgresql environment.
So, take a look and give me feedback if you like.
 
Thanks
Björn

How does this client compare to pgAdmin (as a graphical client) or
psql (as a client in general)?

its a MS Windows only program using the .NET framework, and it just
executes manually entered SQL commands, displaying the results in a ADO
grid object.


*YAWN*

Yeah no offense to the author but it looks like this app has a long way
to go before it even comes close to being a drop in replacement for
pgAdmin, Navicat, etc.

If you are looking for enhancement ideas, you might take a peek at
my website http://homepage.mac.com/levanj ( while it still exists ).

I have several postgresql clients that have a similar layout but most
are written in scripting languages ( wxpython, tcl/tk ) and one written
in Cocoa ( which may or may not still work ). They can typically do
stuff like import/export large objects or bytea objects, display pictures and support
libraries of sql code fragments.

Maybe you can find some good use for the algorithms in the code :)

It was fun writing my own tools… Have fun on you voyage :)

I don't want to replace the other tools.  It's just another client for
postgreSQL and there is a long road for a release. And yes, it uses .NET 4.0
and WPF.
The implementation is more than a little more than simply ADO.NET.  The
ADO.NET objects only transfer the results to the view. In the backend the
sql query is handled
as a really SQL statement.

But it's ok, if you dont't interested in.

I believe the idea is not to pit this app against any existing
application paid or free.

If the idea is to learn the development platform by all means, its your
own software, and you should probably go ahead. Then probably posting it
here is quite immaterial here .. :)

But if the idea is to get communities eyes on the application, it has to
interest the community on some level. An exceptional feature, unique
use, mass appeal, whatever. No offence, but the base platform isn't
always a striking factor. Personally, I don't care if I have a
steam-engine under the bonnet as long as it runs like a Ferrari ;)
