QtSQL Browser is a user-friendly graphical user interface for browsing databases, which can be used with any database.
This software review is for a GUI database browsing frontend called "project". Its purpose is to provide a simple and generic tool that aggregates the Qt database classes. The Qt database drivers provide the database abstraction needed for this tool. The drivers for PostgreSQL and MySQL have proven to work well with this tool.
In theory, ODBC drivers for popular databases like Oracle, DB2, Informix, Firebird, and SAP/DB can work via the Qt ODBC3 abstraction layer. However, preliminary tests on these have not been quite promising. As such, creating native Qt database drivers might be the only way to get them to work, something the developer will be looking into in the future.
As of now, "project" can only be built on Unix and similar systems. However, since Trolltech has released a version of Qt for OSX under the GPL and announced plans to do the same for Win32, ports for these platforms are possible in the future. For now, the developer provides only the source codes.
