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.

I've been Googling this for a while now without much luck, but I suspect if it is possible it should be quite straight forward...
I have an ODBC connection set up within Windows to Sage 50 Accounts, with the DSN of SageLine50v22. I can browse through the Sage database using standalone ODBC programs, but I was wondering if it's possible to connect to it from Netbeans (v8.1) directly, so that I can browse through the database from within the IDE, in the same way I could with a MySQL or SQLLite connection? Please note - I am not trying to connect my actual code to the database - I only want to be able to browse it (I think the Sage ODBC connector is one way only anyway).
I was trying to use the Oracle/Oracle Thin drivers, since the driver is called ODBC7.jar, but I'm beginning to suspect I may be barking up the wrong tree, since all the Google results seem to indicate this is for connecting to ODBC programmatically using Java. Can any one clear this up for me?
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.
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.
I was doing a project related to the IBM competition and need to create a web application. I have done a web application before by connecting netbeans and mysql. But, now am facing problem right from installation.
Is there any workbench(like something for mysql) for db2 . If so can anyone give a link. Also, I need to make jdbc connections. So, is there any other software I need to install.
Kindly explain to me in detail as I'm not pretty sure about this.
All you need is a DB2 JDBC JAR. Pick the appropriate one for your version and add it to your CLASSPATH.
You should use either a DB2 admin client to create tables and view data or something like SQL Squirrel.
EDIT: Although this question is still unanswered for 3.X versions of Eclipse, using 4.X versions (Juno) solves the problem.
I can't browse tables for a given schema in Informix using Eclipse Data Source Explorer. The only tables I can browse is the catalog, the sys* ones in the Informix schema.
I'm using Eclipse v3.6 (Helios) with Data Tools Project plugin v1.9.2 for accessing an Informix 11.70 database.
The driver (v10.0) and the connection configuration seem to be right as I can ping and query properly using the SQL scrap book, creating and selecting tables. In fact the applications work perfectly once deployed, but I'm unable to use Eclipse features such as JPS tools.
The user has the proper access and is able to browse and operate anything from Server Studio.
I've searched Google for a few days and found some cases expriencing something alike (for instance it can happen in MySQL if you're missing the database in the URL), but found no proper answer.
Thanks in advance
P.S.: I have the same question open in DTP forum http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/874976/#msg_874976
P.S. II: I've created a test project that illustrates the problem. Notice the "Tables" node can't be expanded.
The issue will be 'How does Eclipse Helios with Data Tools Project' go looking for tables in an Informix database?
If it interrogates the Informix system catalog directly (systables, syscolumns, ...), there should not be an issue. The fact that you can browse the system catalog tables is curious. Maybe it is only showing you tables 'owned by informix' in the Informix jargon; that would be 'in the schema informix' in some other systems' jargon. Look at the plugin options to see if you can change the schema name somehow, or have it look at all schemas simultaneously.
If it is looking for standard SQL 'Information Schema' tables, those are AWOL in Informix. You might be able to run dbaccess yourdb $INFORMIXDIR/etc/xpg4_is.sql and get enough of an archaic version of the Information Schema tables (from the XPG4 – X/Open Portability Guide version 4 – definition of the Information Schema) to be usable, but I'd not want to bet on it being adequate.
