[Mono-list] Can anyone recommend a DB query analyzer app that will run using Mono on Windows?

[Daniel Morgan]

Have you tried the Gtk# Win32 Installer for Microsoft
.NET Framework 1.1 SDK?

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?gtks-inst4win
The link above is found on the www.mono-project.com
Download page.

This will allow you run Gtk# GUI applications on
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0.

However, for sqlsharpgtk, you will need to extract
Mono.Data.dll from your Mono 1.1.16 installation and
place it in the same place you would run
sqlsharpgtk.exe.  Mono.Data.dll has a ProviderFactory
which sqlsharpgtk uses.

Also, make sure you have a sqlsharpgtk.exe.config
file.
This config file is used to define the providers and
connection strings to be used by the provider factory.

Run sqlsharpgtk.exe in a .NET SDK Command Prompt.  Set
the path to the bin directory of you gtk# for .net
framework installation.


SET PATH=F:\GTK\2.8\bin;%PATH%

Other than that, I can only suggest trying various
database query tools on Mono from Sourceforge and see
what works or not.  You can post your results to the
mono-list.  We would be interested to see why it does
not work on Mono.
