Ok, version 4.3.6 is running now with MonetDB/SQL. It's a very cool tool (can even draw dependency graphs based on the schema and foreign keys! Monica should try that with her DBtapestry schema!). I also found out that JDBC was not n00b-proof yet, so I did some commits related to that.
In order to use the tool follow the next steps.
1. get the software go to http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/install-436/install.jsp and download version 4.3.6 for your platform. I didn't test 5.0 2. set it up for monetdb after starting DbVisualizer for the first time, it will load its default welcome screen. Before doing anything, open the Driver Manager, using the menu Tools->Driver Manager... In the Driver Manager add a new Driver using Driver->Create Driver... Type the name of the driver in the Name field, e.g. MonetDB. Type the URL format for the driver: jdbc:monetdb://hostname/database In the Driver File Paths box, follow the directions to load a JAR file that contains the JDBC driver. Use the MonetDB JDBC driver that came with your distribution, typically installed in ${prefix}/share/MonetDB/lib/monetdb-X.Y-jdbc.jar. After adding, the window should list the driver class nl.cwi.monetdb.jdbc.MonetDriver and automatically fill it in in the Driver Class field. Close the Driver Manager window. Back in the main window, in the Getting Started box, click the Tools->Connection Wizard link. A connection Wizard will pop up, and you will think you are working on a Microsoft Powered computer, no matter which operating system you use. Type the name for the database, e.g. MonetDB and click "Next". Select the just added monetdb Database Driver from the drop down list and again press "Next". Go grab a cup of coffee, when you found out the Wizard not only looks like a Microsoft Product(tm), but also acts like one. Try to hide your frustration and cancel the Wizard and continue the manual way. From the menu select Database->Create Database Connection. A popup dialog will try to persue you to use the wizard. You know better so, click "No". Fill in the name for the connection in the Alias field, e.g. MonetDB. Select the monetdb driver from the list. Copy the default URL by clicking on the "URL Format: ..." text field and change it to reflect the right hostname (usually localhost will do). Fill in the userid and password (monetdb). Press the "Connect" button. It will report the database being used and the JDBC driver in use. In the left pane the monetdb database now becomes available from browsing. 3. use it! Explore the application and have fun!

I will see later what they need to download this. It looks like <mailing list censor/> to me on a second thought.

Ok, downloading requires your credentials to be left behind and some hints what to fill in where. Could you copy the doc/Assets/AquaDataStudio.texi file and enumerate the steps. Then I will try to re-do them following the documentation.
