[ANN] DbTalk 0.71

I would like to announce a new release of my Ruby project DbTalk.
The project page can be found at http://www.insula.cz/dbtalk/

Current version is a bugfix release made to keep DbTalk compatible with
recent versions of FXRuby and Fox.

DbTalk is an interactive GUI based tool for database querying, programming,
administration etc. It consists of three basic parts:

  • SQL editor
  • query result viewer
  • database structure viewer

Hello, –

i’d like to know if anyone did compile the postgres module for the win32
ruby ? If so, could it be possible to make it available somewhere on the
internet ?

I’d love to use DbTalk but my current “workstation” runs windows 2k.

Thanks.

difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about
doing it in a long, roundabout way. One’s heart may slacken, he may miss his
chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way of the Samurai is

Can this work with Sybase?

There is an ODBC driver for Windows and PostgreSQL. It can be downloaded
from http://odbc.postgresql.org/. Once you have set the ODBC datasource up
it can be used as the database name in DbTalk (leave host empty).

The PostgreSQL team is also working on a new version of PdAdmin. It is Windows
only but I must admit it is very feature-full.

It may work using ODBC. Unfortunately I do not have access to a Sybase
server and I did not test it.

AFAIK there is an interface module for Sybase in Ruby. If anyone would write
the pluggin for DbTalk… it is about 3kB Ruby code including comments :wink:
