Froq is, as the abbreviations tells us, a tool for rapid Oracle querying, it's a Mac OS X application providing easy access to Oracle databases. It provides a intuitive and fast interface to your database. By providing some unique searching features, it allows you to browse through your data in fast and easy fashion. While the 'Quickfilter' allows you to simplify the search for specific data, the 'CrossQuery' feature allows you to jump from table to table to quickly find any related data.
Next too these simplified browsing features, Froq offers an SQL input area allowing you to execute any SQL you desire. It offers a plan table, to analyse how Oracle will execute your statements, options to export data, re-format SQL and many more.
For the DBA-er or database analysist the Froq Management Window, can help find any database problems. It offers an insight in database information and settings, an overview of all sessions, locks as well as long operations. For every running session Froq can display detailed session information.
Froq is currently available in English and in Dutch.
Our clinical records software is under development, and often there is a need to look into the tables, change, assign, etc. No tool is as quick and as FUN to dive into a database than Froq.
If you've ever used TOAD on a PC, and wish there was a simpler, less-cluttered version for the Mac, then your wish has been granted!
BTW I was having trouble reading our tables at first, because they were in Unicode. I got a response from Alwin very quickly, and a new version to test in hours! I am very happy with how enthusiastic and helpful the developer is.
Worth every penny.
