JooDatabase FREE
I ran a test of this product to grab rows from a table. It worked very quickly and easily. I then attempted to customise the query. Some basic WHERE clause functionality is available on single tables, however there is no real querying functionality. If you need to do any type of JOIN it appears impossible, as the extension does not have built in support and if you create a VIEW in your DB then JooDatabase will not be able to open it because it doesnt have a primary key, so unless you have independant tables that are useful and complete in isolation (probably unlikely for anyone seriously trying to access a relational DB) then this component probably wont help much.

We always pointed out that only one single table can be used by JooDB. The reason is that Joodb should be as easy to use as possible and many people dont understand the concept of relational databases. But also with only one table you can do selects for catalogs with categories and so on.

The PRO version JooDatabase is ready and we are currenty working on the download-shop and the redesign of the website. With the commercial version can join tables (1:1, 1:n and n:m) and add subtemplates to realize more complex databases.
