Induction: A Polyglot Database Client for Mac OS X

From the post:

Explore, Query, Visualize

Focus on the data, not the database. Induction is a new kind of tool designed for understanding and communicating relationships in data. Explore rows and columns, query to get exactly what you want, and visualize that data in powerful ways.

SQL? NoSQL? It Don’t Matter

Data is just data, after all. Induction supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, and MongoDB out-of-the-box, and has an extensible architecture that makes it easy to write adapters for anything else you can think of. CouchDB? Oracle? Facebook Graph? Excel? Make it so!

Some commercial advice for the Induction crew:

Sounds great!

Be aware that Excel controls 75% of the BI market. I don’t know the numbers for Oracle products generally, but suspect “enterprise” and “Oracle” are most often heard together. I would make those “out of the box” even before 1.0.

If this is visualization, integration can’t be far behind.
