Free database driver software for linux

Database Fishing Tool is short DaFT is a front-end to any database that can be connected to with an ODBC driver. DaFT allows you to browse the database objects, view data in tables and views, and create and execute SQL statements, also as a script, including variable scanning.
DaFT contains a database objects list (tables and views), list of columns and column properties, a table for data snapshots, detailed data view, a notepad, a table for viewing the outcome of select statements, T-SQL or PL/SQL statements, a SQL statement editor with syntax highlighting, and a screen to follow all ODBC driver messages (errors etc.).
All selected data can be saved into a file. The supported file formats are HTML, XLS, CSV, SyLK, and DIF. The SQL statements can be saved into a text file.
Enhancements:
- Handle Tables, Views, and colums with names (partly) in capitals with surrounding quotes.
- Some bug fixes...

XML::DB::Database::Exist is a Perl module with XML:DB driver for the eXist database.

SYNOPSIS

use XML::DB::Database::Exist;

This is the eXist XML-RPC driver. It is intended to be used through the XML:DB API, so that it is never called directly from user code. It implements the internal API defined in XML::DB::Database

The methods required to implement the Database interface are documented in Database.pm; only methods unique to eXist, and not required by the XML:DB API are documented here.

Mckoi SQL Database is a full featured SQL-92 relational database management system written in Java.

The software can operate as either a dedicated multi-client, multi-threaded database server, or can be used as an embedded database inside a Java application.

The engine is designed to be easy to use and maintain and versatile for sophisticated database development tasks. The software provides a JDBC 2.0 driver.

To use Mckoi SQL Database, you will need a JavaTM runtime environment version 1.2 or greater. Sun provides Java runtimes for Win32, Solaris and Linux from their website at http://www.javasoft.com/j2se/. IBM also provides various Java runtimes for a number of platforms at http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk/download/.

When Java has been installed on your system, unpack the mckoi distribution file to a directory in your file system. Then you are ready to create a database and develop your database application.

Creating A Database

Before you can begin development of your database application, you will need to create and configure a blank database. The database configuration file describes all of the configurable properties of the database (details of the database configuration file are covered in the next section). The software ships with a default configuration that looks for a database at path ./data in your filesystem.

To create a database using the default configuration with an admin username of admin_user and password aupass00, go to a prompt, change to the Mckoi Database distribution directory and type:

java -jar mckoidb.jar -create "admin_user" "aupass00"

We do not advise using either this username or password in a production system. The user created here has full control over every aspect of the database so choose a username / password carefully.

When the command has completed, a sub-directory called data will have been generated. This directory is used to store data from the database. A sub-directory called log is also generated which stores debugging and query log information.

Database Configuration

When you run the mckoidb.jar package, it looks for a file named db.conf in the current directory. This file contains a number of variables that determine where the database looks for information, as well as other user-definable properties. The configuration file can be renamed and copied to a different location. If you change the configuration file location, you must supply the location when you run the database;

java -jar mckoidb.jar -conf [location of conf file] .....

You can edit the configuration file with a text editor. The default configuration file that ships with the software contains extensive comments on what each variable does.
