Although it has a nice looking interface, has a least one major bug: after viewing one table of a database, I get an error filling my whole screen when I select am other table.
Comparing features and price ($67), I'll stick to Cocoa MySQL which does basicaly the same, but is freeware.

This is a follow up to my earlier post. The 2.0 version is available only on versiontracker but not on the developer's site which is why it was not connecting to sqlite. However, even the 2.0 version does not connect to sqlite databases that are auto-created programmatically by a php script created with these privileges:

_www : Read & Write
staff : Read & Write
everyone : Read & Write

Get Info say the sqlite database file is a Unix Executable File.

It bombs saying the database is encrypted but whereas SQLiteManager (another app) connects to this database file without any problems. How can I get Froq to open the above sqlite file?

Froq 2 ReviewWorks only with Oracle? - Version: 2.0rc1, 3/25/2008 12:51PM PST

Why do they say on their description it works with SQLite, etc whereas it seems to work only with Oracle databases as it is asking for installed Oracle JDBC driver? Even the help file does not list any items how to connect to a SQLite database. I tried dropping a sqlite file with no luck. The connect dialog has server, port, database, userid, password but sqlite needs only the name of the file to connect to (no userid/password, etc) and the connect button does not get enabled until some info is filled in these text fields.
