CPAN SQL Monitor

ait has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am looking for a tool like Oracle SQL Plus or Centura SQL Talk that is generic for any database supported by DBI. I was just about to start coding a little tool like this but instead decided to take a little time and seek your kind wisdom and see if anyone knows of a CPAN module that does this.

Thanks,
Alejandro

Wow! Thanks a lot!!! It is precisely what I was looking for!!! I am working at a client that uses MS SqlServer and I was reluctant to use a windoze station to run "Query Analyzer" so I was determined to write my own if I had to!!! For the curious here is the minimalistic version I was writing this morning before asking for wisdom here: Read more... Minimalistic DBI::Shell (2 kB)	[reply] [d/l]

The dbish utility in the DBI::Shell distribution is such a tool.	[reply]
