Aelgo has announced Daeta, a cross-platform interface tool for databases. Daeta allows users to set up visual interfaces for accessing, browsing and editing databases, offering both local and remote access. It offers widgets that can be customized for differing data types, such as images, text and other files. Widgets can also be geared for specific searches. The new software features a QueryMaker function that allows users to create SQL queries (for optimizing or searching data) in a menu-driven setting.

Daeta requires Mac OS X 10.4 and higher and Java SE 5 or later; it also requires a JDBC 3 driver for the user's database. It is available now for $40 and offers a 15-day free trial.
