Need GUI tool for querying INGRES database - ingres

Have to work with Ingres DB right now, it has very uncomfortable GUI interface called Visual DBA. Is there any other interfaces which I can use to fork with this DB? need some think like SSMS, or may be there is some plugins which can be used in Visual DBA which can make work with it more user friendly.

Which version of Ingres? Ingres 10.0 and above have a tool called Director which is an alternative to Visual DBA. Some people also use a JDBC tool called Squirrel (see http://community.actian.com/wiki/Squirrel_Howto - use the Ingres 2006 configuration)

Alternatives to SQLite in VS2013 with EF6 and designer support

I have previously used System.Data.Sqlite 1.0.85 with EF5 in VS2010 and it worked well and I came to really like the designer. On my new machine, I've switched to VS2013 Community and tried to get Sqlite 1.0.94 and EF6 running, but it's such a hassle and I'm starting to get really frustrated. I can't seem to get it running on my old project, which I need to work on, but only on a fresh one. Tried copying the old stuff, but it just stops working again. From what I've read, I'm not the only one having these issues.
I can connect to the database in the server explorer, but the connection won't show up in the Entity Data Model wizard. It did run once on a fresh project, but since I keep running into trouble, I'd rather switch to something else that actually works.
So my question is, what alternatives are there? It's for a small business application. Would LocalDb be an alternative? Are there any other good databases/providers (free ones) that work well with EF and have designer support in VS2013?
Thanks for any feedback!
LocalDb can be used in the dev environment and works really well. But it might be too limiting for production use depending upon your requirements. Another option would be to use SQL Server Express. But this again might have limitations in a prod environment. The following link gives you an overview of the features of different versions of SQL Server:
SQL Server Editions
Another option would be to go for something like PostgresSQL or MySQL but I haven't used them, so can't say much about them.

How to export KIE-WB databases to another database engine as MySQL?

I have an installation of Drools kie-wb 6.1.0. By default, it works with Derby database and now, I want to move it to a production environment (where MySQL server is used). How can I export the database from one engine to other?
All information found in the official documentation seems to be from Guvnor, that has some specifics options in the menu "Administration" in the tab called "Repository Configuration". But in KIE-WB there I only can define new repositories (by GIT or SSH). Is something missing in my installation? or the option is elsewhere?
Yes, as #Steve says, it must be a documentation error. Now I understand deeply Drools and I see that database is only used for internal application management, not for rules or projects. Then, in my case, there is not need to move to MySQL.

Generating database and connection from schema

I'm using Glassfish server 4.0 as my app server for a java project in NetBeans 7.3.1. I have a database schema which I would like to include in my server as a database. Is there a way to generate the database in Glassfish based on a previous schema?
The extensions of the files are .frm and there's one .opt file.
Also, does Glassfish include a visual interface to modify a database's table's properties and registries?
Thanks in advance.
The answer to your the last part of your question is no. Glassfish itself does not include a visual interface for modifying database tables, properties etc. It includes a visual interface for creating JDBC Connection Pools and JDBC Resources. I personally use one integrated into my IDE of choice, Netbeans may have this feature, I happen to use IDEA. In production you could use any 3rd party app that does this, TOAD being a popular one but there are many.
I have some thoughts on the first part of your question but nothing ready to put into an answer at this point. When I do I'll update this one if its still an open question.

best sql client for linux *box window manager

I am using ARCH Linux and Awesome3 WM.
I am looking for a good sql client for multi database include mysql postgre oracal.
Squirrel sql seems good, but I got a blank window after launch it.
Any solution for this problem or there is another better client for me?
http://henplus.sourceforge.net/
It's not a GUI, but it works with any database that has a JDBC driver (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle), and I like it.
Several tiling window managers might have problems with java applications. Take a look at this page: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java.
Especially try the workaround using wmname.
As a DB frontend you might try DbVisualizer. If you are using Eclipse to develop your application, "Eclipse SQL Editor" might be of interest. Sorry, Stackoverflow spam protection doesn't let me to provide a hyperlink for that one.

Eclipse Data Source Explorer and MS-Access

I can't see any of my schemas when I try to use Eclipse data source explorer. It's not a problem with JDBC connection because I can connect and execute SQL statements. It's just that the tables don't appear. How do I make them to appear?
Very likely you cannot. Access has a very limited ODBC support (as I suppose you are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver). You don't have many options. You could purchase a JDBC driver with more functionality (expensive), and if your Access is 97 or 2000, the QuantumDB Eclipse plugin has a trick to get metadata information from these versions, by exploring the system tables. Perhaps you can find other plugins that manage that for more recent versions, but otherwise, you are stuck.
