I want to know if there are decent db clients that would give menu
based info on database objects, including the extract ddl etc in Mac
OSx. Tried DB solo, its good but not even near to the capability of
Toad that I use in office.
I love the command line but since I code a lot, its becoming tough on
my fingers so need a client to speed my development and admin up.

DB2 express 9.5.2 has a OSx version, http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/db2/express/download.html.
then you have a DB2 server with control center.

The Control Center is not available for MacOSX.

If you use MySql, it comes with MySqlWorkbench
If you use Postgres it comes with pgAdminIII

Now I think you can use Eclipse, Eclipse Database Explorer ( should
run on mac), uses JDBC
I dont know if DB2 Database Studio runs on Mac because is 100% Eclipse
+ IBM DB2 JDBC

I only listed the free ones.

I have my own question
Can you create a db2 database programmatically ? from ado.net, jdbc ?
I dont think I can !!!
