TOra is also available in a Windows version which will not be free except for personal use (Pretty much the same deal as Qt Non Commercial). TOra is not really tied to Oracle, it just so happens that since that is the database that I use mostly in my work it is the one with the most modules (And also, there is only so much you can do with a MySQL client, no offence). It is perfectly possible even today to compile the program without any support for Oracle at all. /Mauritz GlobeCom AB --------------070705020600010009070306 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Neil Stevens wrote:

It's certainly not up to me, but it looks quite interesting. Just one
thing I couldn't see mention of -- what license is it release under?
And another thing: wasn't "tora" the Japanese code for the attack at
Pearl Harbor?

I think it's more likely that people would be offended that a tool tied to 
proprietary software is put in the distribution, than to be offended at 
that coincidence.
Just to put the record absolutely straight from the beginning. TOra is also available in a Windows version which will not be free except for personal use (Pretty much the same deal as Qt Non Commercial). TOra is not really tied to Oracle, it just so happens that since that is the database that I use mostly in my work it is the one with the most modules (And also, there is only so much you can do with a MySQL client, no offence). It is perfectly possible even today to compile the program without any support for Oracle at all.
