Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
dbishell is a project currently residing on Sourceforge which is a
powerful terminal based client for many databases. Indeed, dbishell
uses perl's DBI interface, to allow it (theoretically) to access any
database which has a DBD driver.
dbishell has specific support for mysql, postgresql, oracle and
sybase, and is, itself, entirely held under the GPL.
I include below, the description of dbishell as appears on the project
page:
Database shell with readline support [command history,
tab completion etc] based on the Perl DBI:
Has specific support for Oracle, MySQL, Sybase,
PostgreSQL, and a generic driver that should work for
anything supported by DBI.
