Does anyone have an actual build of this? I just uninstalled XCode this morning and replaced it with Apple's new CLI dev tools, otherwise I'd try building it myself.

Builds are available at https://github.com/Induction/Induction/downloads .

Ah, nice, they weren't there when I first checked but now it's there. Thanks!

"for Mac OS X" breaks my heart, because this is exactly the kind of open-source DB client I want on Linux.

At least I can use this when I'm on my Air, but I recently went looking for a multi-DB client app like this for Linux, and this looks like what I was wishing I would find.

I wonder if this could be used to hook up something Excel-ish to a DB backend.

I use Excel frequently to model and ask "what-if" questions but I often wish I could store/retrieve information dynamically from a DB. (The ODBC connectors that Excel has leave much to be desired).

For my use case, that would be the holy grail.

The built copy only seems to support PostgreSQL and Redis, but the site mentions MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB too. Is that coming soon?

Edit: I could have answered this question for myself by reading... Skimmed the line that explains that on the site and just caught it now. Oops ;)

I didn't notice the note at first either. They should probably revise the whole sentence to make it clearer that it doesn't yet support those "out-of-the-box" instead of a note afterwards.

I'm yearning for the MongoDB support myself.
