| Installing sqlFree |
Requirements for running sqlFree: You
must at least have java1.3.1 installed. Recommended is
java1.4.x
Installing sqlFree is easy. It comes with its own
installationroutine. Just follow the instructions during the
process. To start the installer do one of the following:
- Type on the commandline: java -jar sqlFreeAll.jar
- Windows only: Doubleclick sqlFreeAll.jar
in your Fileexplorer.
An uninstallation routine will be also installed
automatically. So if you want to clean up and remove sqlFree
call the appropriate jar-file the same way as you have been
calling the installation routine.
Starting sqlFree as application:
- Windows: bin\windows\startSqlFreeApp.bat
- Unix systems: bin/unix/startSqlFreeApp.sh

| Running sqlFree as applet |
sqlFree can also be run as applet.
Especially if your local PC is configured for specific
database access you can access your PC from anywhere you
like by this applet. A small webserver which is shipped with
sqlFree will offer you this opportunity. To start do the
following.
Windows:
- bin\windows\startSqlFreeRMIServer.bat
- bin\windows\startWebserver.bat
The URL needed for your browser will be displayed on the
console by startWebserver.bat
Unix systems:
- bin/unix/startSqlFreeRMIServer.sh
- bin/unix/startWebserver.sh
The URL needed for your browser will be displayed on the
console by startWebserver.sh

| JDBC driver information |
sqlFree was designed to be used in
combination with any JDBC driver. A list of JDBC drivers
which are shipped with sqlFree for your convenience is
available: [Technical
information].
To use your own JDBC-drivers just copy them into the
lib-directory and restart sqlFree. Specify your
databaseparameters afterwards in the [Database
configuration page]. The log-file will give you very
much information about what is happening or if any errors
occur. Have a look there if necessary.

| Configuration |
In the following you'll find
information on which configuration possibilites you have in
the file cfg/configSqlFree.xml:
- You can extend the contextmenu in the
databasebrowser: For own output formats - others than
the offered XML-format - you may implement your own
XSL-stylesheets on basis of the XML-format of sqlFree.
To transform the XML with your stylesheet out of the
application just put another entry beneath: /data/common/contextmenu/dbbrowser/entry
- If you want to enhance the default entries in
the comboboxes offered in the Database configuration
window have a look at
/data/display/default/protocollist/protocol
/data/display/default/dbhostportlist/dbhostport
/data/display/default/driverclasslist/driver
- To setup your own profile - which only is a
specific combination of driverclass, databasename etc. -
add your own profile block at /data/display/preconfigured/config.
See the predefined config-blocks for examples.
- The result viewer is not able to display values of
binary data types properly. Therefor this specific data
can be saved to disk and be viewed afterwards. Which
datatypes shall be treated as binary data can be
specified at /data/database/binarydatatypes/type.
Just put the name of the datatype there and restart
sqlFree.
