Alright then, I've looked at all of them quickly a litte result:
Adabas D Personal edition.
Loads of text about delphie programming, but no freeware DB found to
download
Axcel ==> Nogen5.zip
Jans Freeware
Though Jan has a lot of nice database tools/programs on his site, I could
not download Axcel. It was linked his (old?) Lycos.nl site. There I found an
entry of Nogen5 whitch has
the same discription. But download link did not work
CSVdb
Sam Franke
Ah... Vey Nice tool indeed. If you want to design a one dimentional database
(e.g. 1 table) and don't care about input forma, this is *THE TOOL* I
defnetly install this one also. But it is not what I was looking for.
Commaworks
Jans Freeware
Not found, see Axcel
DBdesigner
Fabforce
A Database utility
A must for any designer of middle and larger databases. Better interface as
Microsoft Access relationship designer. Developed especialy for MySQL, but
can be used in lots of relational databases. I already downloaded this one
before.
DBEdit
Paul Lutus
Nice flat databse product. Not as extended as CBSdb, but you can have
multiple databases open at the same time. Accourding to the author, you can
write custom macro's to paste info into other applications.
Firebird SQL
A robust relational database application like MySQL, Porgress, Oracle or
SQLServer. It is the successor of the Borland Interdev database, with a lot
of bug fixes. No real interface thoug. Setup will take some time. I believe
I had it up and running, but no gui or something to confirm this.
HabFiles
Henry Bartlett
An other flat database (CVS) tool. It converts one Delimiter set to an other
one. Nothing CVSdb can't do. Besides: It has a progam installer, but you
cannot deinstall it. Futhermore it wants to be placed in a folder of your
root (C:\) not in the programfiles.
Not my Style
IBEasy
An designers interface for the firebird database
Though not tried, seems nice enough. Will try it in the near future with
Firebird.
Suzan, Youd better pu this one next to the firebird entry.
JMySQL
An interface for MySQL to use simple database queries. Doubt it will work on
a shared MySQL database with your local internet provider, if I read the
comments (But don't pin me here, I did not yet tried it) The given URL in
pricelessware is not up to date. I can't find the origional site but there
seems to be a version here:
http://mediate.mirrors.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1181.html
KyPlot
First: it is now released as shareware or commericalware (see
http://www.qualest.co.jp/Download/KyPlot/kyplot_e.htm), so treasure your
freeware copies!
a beta release can still be found at
http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/kyplot.html The program is made injapan,
the tekst at the link is english, but I don;t know what is exactly in the
download.
What is it? I would place it in the category of Statisical analyzers or
report writers. It crunshes nummers and akes nice plots out of the data.
MySQL
Where would you ISP be without it? If you are in to webdeveloping, it is
certainly worth knowing about this one. Can be used as rational database,
but preferes not to (speed decrease. Not to bad if you only have a few
tables, but a real fortune 500 company CRM isn't advisable)
Office-QB
A SLQ query tool . Seems to be nice enough... Uses thwe Acces query builder
method for all MS-Access, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Sybase and all ODBC
compliant OLE DB provider databases. Another one I will inversigate further
Personal Knowledge base
Marsius
<quote> P K B is a compact DataBase application designed to easily allow
you to store comments, notes, and text documents in one place, group them by
categories, and perform later search by argument or keyword. You can also
add links (pointers) to any kind of files in your PC, and make PKB your
master catalog as well.
Simple and reliable, it may become your Personal Knowledge Base.
PKB does not install or expand in multiple files. You can run it straight
forward from any directory of your choice. And, IT'S FREE (yet). </Quote>.
To put it nicely: the only thing I liked about this one is the picture of
the ostrich on his webpage. I Nothing especialy wrong with it, but also
nothing new, very good or otherwise special.
PostgreSQL
A freeware serverbased Database with the strengt of SQL server or Oracle.
Mostly used by pinguins and Unixers, but also aviable for Billyboy
worshippers. Used in man companies for their custom made Company
Application.
Putven
Jans Freeware
Again, not downloadable. I might take back what I said. The programs, as
discribed still seems good enoug, but if you cannot download them, what is
the point?
SLQView
A Nice SQL (ODBC) database view/query utility, extporting found data to CSV
os XML files.
Probably faster as Office-QB, but not as extensive or easy to use. Wotht the
download thoug, if you need such a tool
SQLyog
A nice MySql Tool, for editing databases. Synchronysing between MySQL
databases and SQL queries are possible. Nice to use when you fool around
with MySQL. I am not sure you can use it on the MySQL database of your
hosting provider, but teaoretical, it should work.
SAP DB
When I hear SAP, I instanly think about very expensive men in Armani suites,
who flunk spyscool and became business consultants instead... I even did not
know the database itself was freeware. Guss those guys are even a greater
rip-off then I thought
well I guess SPA DB language is a bit difficult
(If i find out other wise, I'll have a new profession). I might even
download, as a quick view on the site sugest it has its own form builder and
report tool... Though it probably has what I was looking for, I doubt it
*IS* what i'm looking for. (I hoped for little to no learing curve
)
Will download it anyway. Gonna get rich!
TDB
A simple database application with build-in reportin tool. Nice to crunch
some numbers and display graphic results.
VBDB
An VisualBasic Database with forms and reports. A very crude form design and
report tool, but I must make my compliments on the way he has overcome some
problems. To be honest I'm more intersted in the VB project behind it as in
the application itself. The application uses its own format, no import or
export posibilities, but it *HAS* customable forms and therefore report
(same layout). Not too useul for most, I guess, but BV progammes and
Database lovers might have a look.
Visual Data:
The worst of all listed here.
First I had to join a Yahoo group to be able to download the program.
Normaly, this just means NO to me, but for the review (and more: my
curiosity) I just signed up. Yahou then needs to install a certificate,
whitch for once, I allowed. After I downloaded the package, the real fun
began; An old Visual basic 4 installer broke free and told me I could
choose: overwriting allfiles with the same name, or cancel installation. I
have not tested this application, Nor will I ever again care to do so.
WListDB
Origionali developed for PalmOS, and as far as I can see, Very nice...
.... For palmOS that is. I don;t care much about the windows variant, other
then preparing datases for a PalmOS handheld
If you have a handheld with PalmOS, It might well be worth the download,
else I don;t think ou should care
WinSQL
About the first ODBC SQL tool I ever encountered.
In layout not much changed, I saw, but a lot of bugfixes and new features
since 1999. Always liked it, but I think I'll like Office-QB maore.
DBWorx
First of all. The site is slow, but working. Strangely, the download was
FAST!!! maybe in the ISP cache?
Thoug no fancy Form editors, you can create your own reports. Takes some
time to learn, but if reports are your goal, you will have a nice comanion
with this fellow
MyDBF_3
Jans Freeware
Wait! This is for real. This program is downloadable.
And As i said. Once you got it, Jans Freeware can be superb!
Using the DBIII format, you can read, create and modify databases, Create
Reporta AND forms. Much like access (not as sophisticated) wut working fine.
I would even be quite confortable to build an office database with it, using
the form templates (and that is wat i realy wanted. Definetly a keeper!
Data Prospector
A SQL tool for MySQL and/or progress.
Not as sophisticated as SQLyog, but it does work with Progress. For the
connaisseur, i think
Nogen
Jans Freeware
See the first entry....
So, a very long quick analyse of the databases
Who whant to do all the MP3 players next?
