I am considering using postgreSQL 8.4x db for windows / Mac for development and for Linux. I wonder what interface tools are there that are comparable to Toad (for Oracle)?
PostgreSQL comes with PgAdminIII. This is normal, but I feel that there might be something better than this. I prefer free or open source, but if something is NOT too expensive (we DO NOT PROFIT), do not mind evaluating.
minimal tools i want
1) connection manager
2) Good SQL editor
3) Explain the plan
4) help with the implementation of SQL in various languages.
5) ER circuits would be good, but that would not be a killer function for me.
6) keyboard shortcuts
7) support for utf-8 (display at least).
Does anything work for you guys?
Will use java 6 to build the application, if at all relevant.
Thanks,
