* Package name : jsqsh Version : 2.1.1 Upstream Author : Scott Gray <scottgr...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/scgray/jsqsh * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Java Description : Console based database query tool, featuring command line editing, piping of output to other programs, and much much more. JSqsh (pronounced jay-skwish) is short for Java SQl Shell, a console based tool that allows the ability to query a database with functionality of your typical shell, such as command line editing, tab completion, variable expansion, redirection of output to files, or the ability to pipe the output of the query execution to an external program (grep, more, etc.). I was introduced to JSqsh at work around four years ago, and have been using and recommending it ever since. I've tried various other SQL clients in that time, graphical and otherwise, and never found anything as extensible or universal as JSqsh. There's nothing in Debian today (I'm aware of) that offers the same power and flexibility. JSqsh is actively developed and maintained upstream, and its author, Scott Gray, is helpful, responsive, and also keen to see JSqsh in Debian. I see myself using JSqsh on a daily basis for years to come, and am happy to commit to maintaining it in Debian for just as long. As a new contributor I am in the process of learning packaging, but I am familiar with the JSqsh source. I have JSqsh packaged locally with only some finishing touches to make before filing an RFS, if this ITP meets no opposition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
