I’ve tried this out a bit, and while it looks exactly what I want, the execution seems very poor. It’s buggy and unstable (or at least, the mergeant tool is).
- If I start mergeant and try to add a datasource, I can’t type in any of the text fields in the dialog box.
- I used copy and paste to create an ODBC data source linking to the working ODBC source I discussed earlier. When I try to open it, mergeant segfaults.
- If I select the already existing SQLLite source, and then press “Data Sources” I get an error saying that the gnome-database-properties program cannot be found.
- I tried the command line and found gnome-database-properties-3.0. I used this to create a FreeTDS data source, bypassing ODBC. Joy of joys, it worked!
- I tried to create a simple query in the main program against my database and mergeant segfaulted.
Overall, a pretty bad first impression. It’s a shame, because the screenshots look great. It probably works really well with mysql and sqllite!
