I've been working on a tool that will run as a servlet or Swing GUI and that will (in theory) use any JDBC driver to connect to the database and manipulate stuff. I released a servlet-based version some time ago that supported PostgreSQL and MySQL officially. Since then I've been rewriting the code so that a Swing version can be easily added, sharing common library code with the servlet version.

I'm a bit busy with exams coming up and I haven't had a lot of time to work on stuff recently. I've almost finished the servlet stuff using the new code, and the swing stuff is half-done.

You might want to look at the old version (the last release) at http://javatator.com/

Are you thinking of a PostgreSQL-specific GUI, or is Javatator something that you people might want to help with?

If you're interested, let me know and I'll try and get CVS up so you can peek at the works. I've got exams from 14th-27th June so I won't be able to code a whole lot from now until then :-)

Oh, and it's all open-source BTW :-)
