However, there were several things that I didn't like about it. Perhaps they can be remedied in future releases.
1) There is no apparent option to make the Auto Commit feature to default to Off.
2) There is no apparent way to resize the SQL editor or the results windows.
3) Copying from the results is pretty much useless as you can only copy one cell. However, I did find the Export function better than other plugins or DB programs.
4) There is no table preview, row count, etc.
It is good enough to keep an eye out for future versions but for now SQL Explorer seems to be a better choice for my applications.

This tool needs to pages the results is receives for the DB to be useful in our shop.
Also, on the configuration interface, if I could copy a current connection instead of having to start from scratch every time it would be helpful.
Beyond these issue, this is a good tool.

Tested under Eclipse 3.0.0 (Linux-gtk version over a Debian Woody + KDE 3.2 + Postgresql 7.2.1)
Pity there isn\'t any free documentation.

Export of db structure to html looks nice and can be easily integrated into javadoc documentation
