DB GUI (Database Graphical User Interface) 0.2.3

Gem Version

This is an early alpha database graphical user interface that enables interaction with a relational SQL database.

It currently supports PostgreSQL as a start, with the potential of supporting many other databases in the future.

db gui

Setup

Run:

gem install db-gui -v0.2.3

Usage

Run:

dbui

Or, run one of the aliases: db-ui / dbgui / db-gui

Note that it stores the last connection details under ~/.db_gui, and will auto-connect using that configuration on startup for extra convenience (in the future, there is the potential to support multiple connection configurations).

Contributing to db_gui

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
  • Fork the project.
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch.
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
