Product Description:

Some user comments:

By far the best Mac interface to Oracle 8x/9x databases, and one of the
better GUIs for MySQL/PostgreSQL available on any OS. The simple fact that
it connects to such a wide variety of DB servers using a consistent
interface alone is worth the registration cost, especially when you
consider that there are single-DB alternatives that cost 10x what this
does. [infraRett]

I just downloaded this app, and I'll tell you that it works better than
SQLGrinder, SQLBoss or MacSQL. I use Oracle and wanted to have a good way
to do SQL commands the way they're done in SQL Plus in Oracle, and none of
the other products know how to deal with that, at least this application
lets me work with SQL the way I know how. These guys are pros and know how
to set things up. [SFCodeWarrior]

This is awesome! Once the JDBC driver is installed on your Mac, connecting
to your database is simple and fast! I can't belive it. I won't have to
jump back and forth between my Mac and NT workstation for developing web
applications. [Hector Cabarcas]
