/**
 * dbcat aims to be a swiss army  knife for databases,  a 
 * sort of unix shell "cat | grep" for jdbcable databases 
 **/

dbcat is a simple java  client that allows  to connect to 
several  databases, launch  queries and view result sets,
execute commands,  browse tables, execute  simple filters 
and lookup on the result sets between different databases

it supports  both jdbc1 and jdbc2  drivers and requires a
java  2  virtual machine  (tested with jre1.3.1 or upper)

it uses  the  jedit-syntax text area for  syntax higlight

it  allows  to browse database objects through an easy to 
use customizable file (dbcatBrowser.props  stores the SQL
to get database object info)

it  allows to filter and lookup result sets obtained from 
different datasources (Filter&Lookup)
