Five Scrolls of TOra
Ha! It’s done. Tora is build-able natively in the Windows environment. Pretty Cool (TM). And it’s usable perfectly (in the case you like pre-pre-alpha software).
The best thing at all is this one — win master Christoph Kuemmel-Schulte did a perfect job with packaging TOra with all required libraries so it can be used for ODBC, MySQL, and PostgreSQL too. So long Toolkit for Oracle, welcome universal database client.
Perfectly tuned cmd.exe with TOra linking:
TOra is running. Woohoo! It’s running natively (MSVC compiler):
Strange GUI in X11
A ten-point-question for Qt gurus — have you ever seen this ugly behaviour?
Menu is wrongly sized, fonts in lineedits is too small, tool tips are cut… And all others Qt4 apps are correct. Insane.

Great news. Thanks for Tora, one of the best GUI admin-tools for db’s! :)

I’ve seen something similar. It was caused by a QFont being constructed before the QApplication.

about running anything in windows: it’s silly. running OSS in windows doesn’t help, your still not free.
about the GUI: it’s a special punishment for people misusing the CSS cursor property on their websites :O

Is Tora now using a modern Qt version? I looked at trying to port it to Qt 3 some time ago and decided it was too much work. If it’s now using a more modern version of the library then I definitely need to check it out again!

Richard Moore: the Qt4 port is in progress. It depends on Q3support still but we are progressing.
Anders: ad windows – you’re right. But I have to use Solaris, Linux, and Windows for my job so *I* want the same tool in all environment.
ad cusrsor – I’m using 3rd party theme here. Ok, I can find it in CSS one time…
Tim: thanks for hint. I’ll examine it.
