There is a query tool called GQL from Andyne Computing Limited in Kingston, Ontario. This tool runs on MAC and Windows, and can access Oracle. GQL works with most other relational DBMS also. Contact them at 1-800-267-0665.

GQL received a good review in MacWeek earlier this year. GQL is more graphical than Oracle Browser, but it requires more up front setup than Browser does. Very strong as an ad hoc query tool, but you can save queries and attach them to buttons or graphics so an end-user can run them again. You can embed prompts into the

GQL is also handy means to create SQL code for other uses. You can see SQL in a window, and cut and paste it into other applications like SQLPlus. They execute without any editing, it is an easy way to create SQL code with correct syntax.

I am a consultant and we are using GQL on a client/server Oracle project to give scientists and managers access to environmental data. Using GQL they can move data to Excel and other tools for analysis and graphing.

Feel free to call and ask questions about GQL and our experience.
