Mostly true. It's useful to have the database view when developing, for running ad-hoc queries to look at data and so on. Also, for editing the generated schema to tweak constraints and indices and so on. >> Although, having said all that, i would suggest not starting with an >> IDE, or at least not one of any complexity.

Most of which aren't relevant in a thread about programming on a Mac. I mentioned TextWrangler and XCode because they're the best freeware editors on the Mac. > I agree with the point that every new Java developer should learn to > develop using a standard editor and command line editor to learn about > classpath, jar files etc.etc.. Great minds think alike. tom -- MADSKILLZ!
