Informmix isql tool used to have a form mode, where one could:
* select table or form from a list, hit enter
* then a form with all fields would show up
* one could populate some fields with query condition, e.g. name = 'xyz'
* then hit enter and tool would run a query
* then one could navigate prev/next through the results.
I was not fond of this, but some folks in the office still swear by this and ask if they can have a tool like that for postgres. I sent them to psql, but just typing SQL gives them heartburn.
I must admit some of them were quite faster with isql than with psql. This tool helps a bit, but still hoping for the form mode.
- keeperofdakeys 11y agoHave you tried pgadmin, it even has a 'visual' query builder.
- limaoscarjuliet 11y agoMy support folks have only terminal access. Sure, they could tunnel pgadmin in (via SSH) if they knew how and even what they are doing. As such they are stuck with command line only.
