SQLGrinder 2.0.4 is internet utilities software developed by Advenio, LLC.
SQLGrinder is a native Mac OS X SQL editor and developer tool. Using SQLGrinder you can create, edit and execute SQL queries. You can browse your database schema. Using SQLGrinder, you can easily connect to any database that has a JDBC driver.

Because SQLGrinder is built using Apple's Cocoa framework, it looks and feels like a Macintosh OS X application, not like an application made on another platform and ported to OS X as an afterthought.

SQLGrinder comes bundled with drivers for FrontBase? from FrontBase Inc. and OpenBase SQL from OpenBase International, Ltd., as well as drivers for MySQL and PostgreSQL. SQLGrinder also makes it easy to connect to other databases such as Oracle, Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server by simply dropping JDBC drivers into a folder.

Currently in beta testing, this new version has been completely rewritten from the ground up and features many new and improved features including faster overall performance, multiple editor and result set history buffers, code completion using database keywords and table, column and procedure names, client-side result set searching and sorting, sleep detection, table add, drop and truncate functionality, improved data import and export and much more.

Pricing for the new version has been set at $59. During the beta period however, SQLGrinder 2 can be purchased for the current price of $49.95 with purchasers receiving a free upgrade to the final version once available. Owners of the current version can purchase an upgrade for only $19 by sending their current registration information to upgrades@sqlgrinder.com.

SQLGrinder 2 for Mac OS X is currently available for a limited time as an unlimited beta version.
