Jerry,

>I'd never seen it either, Bob. I download and installed it both at work on my W2K, and here at home on my SuSE 7.3 It looks and feels the same on both platforms. Since I had PostgreSQL installed here I played around with a jdbc connection to it. It worked beautifully! Here is the URL explaining how to do it: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/doc.html#install (I didn't have to go through that "Ant" thing, or download binary drivers because my PostgreSQL installation included the /usr/share/pgsql/jdbc7.0-1.1.jar jdbc drivers.
>When you add this driver via the Database --> JDBC Drivers menu option, then click the 3rd button (blue round one) on the dialog after you select the jar mentioned above, it exposes the actual driver: "org.postgresql.Driver".
>I'll send you a screen capture of my connection.

This tool rocks..got it working with AS/400 connections and compared speeds to something called DB Spy which I wrote (uses ODBC for a full-fledged database console against AS/400 data sources). Foxpro is a bit faster, but that is probably because it is so quick at taking the returned data and displaying is. DbVis probably takes a bit of a hit getting everything to look pretty.

Have you tried DbVis's exporting? Make cool little HTML pages!

>While I was installing it at work I noticed a dbf driver for VFP that should work in it. Here it is: http://members.tripod.com/~ZYH/jdbc.html

Did you get that working? I cannot figure out where to place data and cannot figure out the connection string. Looks like it needs some sort of server piece running to access the data? This would make sense since Java shouldn't be able to directly access files on the hard drive without going through a process layer, no?

Have a great weekend guys! DbVisualizer is way cool!
