Copper (Database development tool for Linux)

What is Copper?
Copper is a feature-wise port of the Windows-only software Golden32 by Benthic Software. It allows Oracle (other db support is coming: MySql is in beta) developers to run sql queries against the db. Currently most sql statements (select, insert, update, delete, commit, rollback) are supported but you can also execute pl/sql stored procs. Copper requires Gnome to be installed.

Feature list:

• Editing of data. You can right click a cell and update it.
  
• Common sql: select, update, insert, delete, commit, rollback
  
• Oracle Error reporting
  
• MySQL db support (in beta)
  
• Autoconf-based make. You can now compile w/o Oracle support.
  
• MDI interface

Future plans:

• Scrollable result sets. (Currently only the first n hits are shown, although the code's there to detect scrolling to the bottom and top of the table.
  
• Port to C++? Just for the hell of it. (maybe not...)
• MDI support. (Partly done. Need delete tab, and logic for tab-switching (buttons should enable, etc.))
• SQL object browser. Like what Golden has.
• Copy and paste support. (I thought Gnome would do this w/o any special code. Maybe I'm using the wrong table widget.)
• "Pluggable" db support. This is mostly done but I want to have a way for people to easily add other db implementations. So you don't have to edit the connect-dialog, etc.
• rpm packaging
