Why only MySQL? and Eclispe plugin?

[dlittman]

I like the product very much. I am using the free version but may purchase the full version if I continue to use MySQL.

My question, after looking at and using all sorts of free (and expensive) DB management tools is this:

Could the tool be extended to talk to other databases, especially DB2, Cloudscape, and Oracle and ESPECIALLY with the ability to 1) create and modify tables, 2) add Foreign Keys, and 3) generate sql scripts defining the database structure?

That would be a GREAT tool for people like me who, quite frankly, use relational databases as a commodity on the back end of e.g., J2EE applications and don't want to spend $1000 on e.g., PowerDesigner or something similar.

Also, could the tool be provided in plug-in form for Eclipse (3.0)?

Thank you very much.
