FlameRobin is a database administration tool for Firebird DBMS. The goal is to build a tool that is: lightweight (small footprint, fast execution); cross-platform (Linux, Windows for start, others planned too); and dependant only on other open source software.

Version ChangeLog:
New features:
Brand new Backup/Restore dialogs that work in background, let you suppress the output messages and store their settings among invocations. Plus, the output messages can be copied to the clipboard.
Many dialogs have been redesigned and now feature a cleaner GUI.
"Show value" and "Show all values" context menu commands implemented for generators.
Exceptions are now shown in the tree view and have Create/Drop menu commands and a property page.
Property pages for triggers, table constraints, dependencies (all objects), generators were added. Plus, a special empty property page now appears for not yet supported object types, instead of an error message.
Ability to view/add/drop table constraints.
Reconnect menu command for databases will physically disconnect and reconnect a database in one shot.
"Create new" and "Drop" commands added for external functions.
New MacOS X port.
Enhancements and Bug fixes:
When new objects are added to the database through a "CREATE" DDL statement, they are inserted in the right place in the tree view, instead of at the end of the lists.
The tree view shows primary key table fields with a different icon.
It is now possible to edit triggers.
User-defined domain names appear together with column datatypes in the property pages.
Improved startup speed.
config.ini entry "FrameStorage=1" now works for all frames and dialogs (it only stores size - not position - for dialogs).
New multi-format program icon that looks OK at all sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 128x128).
In the SQL Window you can press Ctrl + "+" and Ctrl + "-" to increase and decrease the font size. The setting is remembered across sessions of FlameRobin.
In the Server Registration dialog the controls are now read-only if any database is connected.
New program icon.
Assorted bug fixes.
Known issues:
If you modify the connection credentials (username and password) of a registered database, the new credentials will not be used until you restart FlameRobin.
