Aqua Data Studio - Cross Platform Database Tool

"Aqua Data Studio is a database query and administration tool that allows developers to easily create, edit, and execute SQL scripts, as well as browse and visually modify database structures. Aqua Data Studio provides an integrated database environment with a single consistent interface to all major relational databases. This allows the database administrator or developer to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously from one application."

It is about time a cross platform database tool came along. I believe this is a perfect example for where thick client Java development makes sense. Java abstracts the database well enough to atleast be able to execute the queries needed per database in runtime.

Plus, it is free for non-comercial use. Basically, until it is a worthwhile enterprise to invest in database development and maintenance, it is free.
