An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
PROJECTS ON THE MOVE
Inthis month’s Projects on the Move, we look at Squirrel SQL, a full-featured easy-to-use GUI-based database management tool. We also have updates on Debian: frozen Etch, the upcoming DebConf 7, and spring cleaning
on the Debian Desktop.
Just like on a filesystem, the command line is often the quickest way to perform many database-related tasks. This said, GUI-based front-ends also have some advantages, like giving you a fast overview of existing databases and tables. Plus, if you are unfamiliar with a particular SQL dialect or engine, you can still edit tables, modify access privileges or change table structures. If you need SQL queries for more complex tasks, they often provide SQL editors with syntax highlighting.
