## GTKSQL

gtksql - graphical database query tool.

## SYNOPSIS

**gtksql**\

## DESCRIPTION

GtkSQL is a graphical query tool for PostgreSQL 6.3.

There is a home page for GtkSQL : **http//www.mygale.org/~bbrox/GtkSQL/**

The connect / disconnect menus are quite straightforward.  If no options are entered, either environmental variables, or the 'defaults' will be used.  The following are the defaults for a normal Postgresql installation:

Name: template1\
 Host: localhost\
 Port: 5432\
 Login: current username\
 Password: none needed

It is possible to work on multiple queries simultaneously. Each button of the toolbar has an equivalent in keyboard shortcuts :

**Alt-s = Send =** sends the current query to the database

**Alt-n = New =** adds a new query

**Alt-d = Delete =** deletes current query

**Alt-r = Rename =** renames current query

**Alt-e = Export =** exports current query

**Alt-t =** displays the table information for the table whose name is under the cursor.

**Alt-left / right arrows =** move to the next or previous query

**TAB =** SQL keyword, table name and field name autocompletion

**Refresh =** rescans the table databas
