Constructing and previewing queries over relational
databases is typically done in dedicated DB client tools that are far
away from the development environment. However, when working with
relational data, querying is a common activity in software development,
and thus it should be supported more prominently by the IDE.
Moreover, database clients are rather poor at doing anything
non-textual. Thus, any time a graphical representation is needed, the
developer typically resorts to exporting the data and using an external
charting tool.
The GTInspector
offers a simple set of extensions that brings together both of these
aspects into one workflow. In this post, I demonstrate the way it works
on a Postgres database, but a similar approach can be used for any
other DB binding.
