Getting Started : Using solidDB® with graphical SQL clients
  
Using solidDB® with graphical SQL clients
solidDB® does not include a graphical user interface (GUI). However, graphical SQL clients such as IBM Data Studio Administrator, Eclipse SQL Explorer, or SQuirrel SQL Client can be used with solidDB® to browse database objects, view and modify table data, and issue SQL commands.
IBM Data Studio Administrator and Eclipse SQL Explorer clients are suitable if your development environment already uses the Data Studio or Eclipse frameworks.
SQuirrel SQL Client is a stand-alone program that requires no other components than the client and solidDB® to work.
All the above mentioned clients use the JDBC interface to connect to solidDB®.
IBM Data Studio Administrator
IBM Data Studio Administrator helps you manage your database objects and simplifies the process of identifying, analyzing, and implementing database schema changes.
You can connect IBM Data Studio Administrator to a solidDB® database using the IBM Data Studio Administrator’s Generic JDBC database manager options.
For more details on setting up IBM Data Studio Administrator with solidDB®, see the IBM Data Studio Administrator documentation.
Eclipse SQL Explorer
Eclipse SQL Explorer is a thin SQL client that you can use to query and browse any JDBC-compliant database, including solidDB®.
The Eclipse SQL Explorer can be added as a plugin to your existing Eclipse environment, or you can run it as a stand-alone client.
For more details on setting up SQL Explorer with solidDB®, see the SQL Explorer documentation.
SQuirrel SQL Client
SQuirrel SQL Client is an open source Java SQL Client program for JDBC-compliant databases. It is a stand-alone client that can be configured to connect to your solidDB® database via the solidDB® JDBC driver.
For more details on setting up SQuirrel SQL Client with solidDB®, see the SQuirrel SQL Client documentation.
