- FlameRobin always displays the SQL statement it’s going to run, so you always know what is happening in your database and no under-the-hood mechanism obscures your actions.
- Editable data grid, you can modify existing data inside the grid and also add and remove rows. Blob values can be updated from files.
- FlameRobin can have multiple log files for a given database, one for each statement, making it easy to build update scripts for production databases.
Using Firebird and FlameRobin included in Debian it is possible to backup a database from Windows, restore it on Linux and take off SQL server load from workstation. This is the only way to move database between 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. It is a feature of Firebird (or maybe bug). On the same architectures database files can be simply copied.
The SQL Editor has syntax highlighting and auto-completion. SQL statements can be entered, load, saved and executed. You can prepare a query and view the execution plan without executing it.
Availability
FlameRobin is available in Debian since Etch and in Ubuntu since feisty.
