Entrance, A MySQL Browser With Charts
FIRST LOOK: ENTRANCE, A MYSQL BROWSER WITH CHARTS
Macintosh users with Java JRE 1.6 installed and a sense of adventure will
want to try out Entrance, a new MySQL browser. Entrance generates
Access-like charts based on data in MySQL databases, and it features a
"match box" search facility that works a lot like Spotlight, but for
database tables.
You don't need to speak SQL to create Entrance charts, but if you do, a new
PLOT keyword lets you embed chart descriptions in SQL scripts.
The charts you create are interactive. They can be panned and zoomed, and
you can select data from them. This means you can answer "What are these?"
type questions simply by dragging selection boxes over a chart.
Entrance also introduces a new, innovative feature, called "data painting",
that lets you paint the points in a Scatter or Correlation Chart with
color. The color shows up on the chart and is recorded in the underlying
database table, which means you can write SQL queries based on colors in
charts....

pdfCorrect now also embeds fonts
Berlin, April 20th 2007. One of the most important features of the
new pdfCorrect is the possibility of embedding fonts in existing PDF
files later on. This means that problems caused by missing or

size.
