Hello guys,
I have a desktop app using Java FX and so I have Derby as embedded DB.
These builds I deploy to my clients.
I need however a little tool to somehow access the embedded database for
viewing, and maybe some on-the-fly modifications.
When the FX app is up and running the DB is locked to it. So my option is
to include a built in DB manager tool inside the app.
So I was wondering if you know any java-based database viewers that I can
import and use inside my app?
Best,

Hi Chux,
The real answer to your question will have to come from people who write
better gui applications than I do. I think you are right that every
database app needs a tool for inspecting the database and
trouble-shooting production problems. I have written a couple, clumsy,
Swing-based apps which are powered by Derby. For each of them I have
added an interactive Help window which reads an SQL statement from a
JTextArea and which then presents the results (for queries) as a JTable.
Too crude for customers to pilot but useful enough for development and
tech support; and not much code.
Hopefully you'll get a better answer from someone who really knows how
to write a gui app.
Hope this helps,
-Rick
