[Lazarus] Cross Platform SQL Client/Editor

2016-01-01 Thread Anthony Walter

K.P., Being able to connect to MSSL from Linux is kinda of the point. Installing Wine + setup or configuration of ODBC DSN configuration files and or drivers just to run a SQL client+editor kinda files into the "require a whole lot of extras" category. --

Michael, I don't want a "visual" table builder and I'm unsure how many others do. All I want is something to connect me to a database engine where I can then execute bits of SQL (it executes what you highlight), which is what my program does. Lazarus database desktop seems geared towards

Mark, I apologize if I was unclear. I didn't mean to imply some kind of SQL editor which can convert between various SQL dialects (T-SQL -> ?). I want something with a good syntax highlight editor (with block indent/mouse selection, and so on) which allows me to execute the SQL that is
