Hi,

no I don't use Qt3. I use qt2 by now. I have written my own little
C++-layer on top of the C-api.

Mirgrating to MySQL or Oracle would be pretty hard. The program tries to
show and modify all I can get out of the systemtables. And these are
very postgreSQL-specific. If I would use a abstractionlayer I doubt
other databasesystems (or SQL-filesystems like MySQL;-) ) will not give
me exactly these informations I try to show.

By the way - I switched the name already. I just found a pgexplorer at
http://www.pgexplorer.com. I switched to qpsql. Maybe someone out there
has a better name?

I put the source online now. You can download it at
http://www.maekitalo.de/qpsql. The screenshots don't match the published
version. I will make new ones soon.
