Barbet

Database admin tool

Installation and usage

To install the software; After Download the source code for version 0.03 of barbet, expand the tarball and use ant to create the binary. If you do not have ant installed you can use an IDE or the java compiler to generated the classes. As of version 0.03 binaries are also available for download.

Start the administration tool with the barbet.sh script if you are on a linux like operating system or, type java com.radinks.radmin.RadMain at the command line in windows. The following dialog will appear.

Enter your username, password etc into their respective fields to establish the connection to the database. Please note that if you do not have the correct JDBC driver installed the connection will fail. With Postgresql database you will need to make sure that the server has been started with the -i option.

If the connection is successfully established the main Barbet window will open up. As the version number (0.04) would suggest, tasks that involve modification of the data or the structure cannot be relied upon. Indeed some of the functionality has not even been implemented yet.

The CopperSmith Barbet database migration tool can be invoked with the coppersmith.sh shell script or typing java com.radinks.radmin.CopperSmith at the command line. Release notes
