SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc, see Introduction. The minimum version of Java supported is 1.5.x as of SQuirreL version 2.4. See the Old Versions page for versions of SQuirreL that will work with older versions of Java

We particularly like this tool during the audit and pentest session. Because it works with many DBMS that has a JDBC 2.0 driver.

This tool was a great help especially during the Oracle and MySQL database assessment.
