You have to define driver (your jar file)
windows – preferences – myeclispe -db explorer -drivers
– choose oracle thin
– edit
– add your jar in extra class path
– add oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver in class nameopen db perspective
create new profile
add your URL, username and passwordregards
How was this popup list generated? The mm.mysql driver is really old.
The list is the same one used by the SQLExplorer/JFaceDBC plugin, upon which this plugin is based. I cannot speak for the recentness/accurracy of any of the drivers listed. However, I will be happy to update the lists given the information. Just let me know.
Any news on this yet?
Regarding foreign keys, I would need to check the source of the mysql driver you are using – the plugin expects JDBC-canonical metadata for exported keys (FKTABLE_SCHEM, FKCOLUMN_NAME, FKTABLE_NAME, FKTABLE_CAT) which I know that a recent Postgresql driver violated. I will be adding more logging to the plugin to capture this kind of info, but I have nothing at this time. I need to install MySql and use the driver. Will do so ASAP.
Not yet. Knee deep in implementation right now in prep for 3.8GA, but i will get to this ASAP (obviously before we do GA!).

I haven’t tried any of the 3.8 beta releases yet so I haven’t looked for myself, but earlier on this board it was said that the DB explorer plugin shipped with myeclipse was based on QuantumDB.
Did you switched recently, or did I misunderstood?
Btw, the post I was referring to is in the thread:

The precise words are:

Just wondering, is the database explorer an entirely new development, or is it based on an existing plug-in?
arjan,
Its based on the Quantum DB explorer plugin.Read on, McDuff….later in the same thread, scott corrected the mistake that we used quantum. We did not. SqlExplorer was the basis.

You are right. I didn’t read that indeed. Makes me look a bit silly I guess. 😳
Does this mean btw that Genuitec is now more or less the primary team that has taken over the old JFaceDbc code? As far as I can see, the new ‘team’ ( cilquirm ) hasn’t done really that much, other then making the code work on Eclipse 3.0. From his own words I understand it wasn’t that much work. I’m monitoring the activity on both the project page https://sqlexplorer.dev.java.net/ and on http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=613 , but both seem to be really quiet.
The reason I’m interested in these precise details is that we’ve added some extentions to JFaceDbc in order to support our own custom SQL file format. Basically, this file format is an XML file that stores a parameterized SQL query along with some meta data.
I’m not really sure who to ask for acceptance of some extention poins / interface patches that help us in doing the above. The last reaction from cilquirm was nearly two months ago, and like I said the project didn’t seem that active anymore. We were about to move over to Quantum, but today I learned atleast Genuitec is continuing with the JFaceDbc code.
So I’m curious about the exact status of things. Have you basically made your own branch of JFaceDbc (via sqlexplorer), or do you have faith that cilquirm indeed continues on sqlexplorer and will you keep using his code as your base? I noticed some other users had questions on this topic too, but there was never a reply on that.

the continuation of their work in open source. ???
SQLExplorer is pure JFaceDBC 2.2.1 , updated for work in eclipse 3.0 only

It isn’t question
sqlexplorer team do nothing except compile jfacedbc plugin with eclipse 3.0MyEclipse team promise may features in 3.0 GA
regards
That was the same thing I was thinking. sqlexplorer team has done very little, so why do the people from myeclipse then say their plug-in is based on sqlexplorer instead of JFaceDbc?
Any of us could have done the same, I mean, I could just take the existing JFaceDbc source, make the minimal amount of changes so it compiles for Eclipse 3.0 and then call it Henk’s DB explorer or something. Next thing that happens is that sun comes along, decides they need a DB plug-in to, and say they base their plug-in on Henk’s DB explorer. Then they give me money to support my project, while all I did was compile it for Eclipse 3.0…
Or does the sqlexplorer team has some fantastic trackrecord and are they currently working very hard behind the scenes?

You try send any patch to sqlexplorer !

No I didn’t!
Btw, I wonder why nobody from genuitec is responding anymore. One would think that the answer to the current status of sqlexplorer wouldn’t be so difficult to formulate…
