If you're a Java developer you ought to check out
Qwickr at your earliest
convenience.
It's a JPA (Java Persistence Architecture) tool for JEE5 applications. It's a pretty neat piece of software engineering that essentially gives you direct access to your underlying entity model using little more than a web browser.
Why is this good? Well, for a start you can construct and drill down into queries against your entity model in JPQL (which to developers may be simpler than SQL), it also extends JPQL and allows for INSERT statements. This means that you have effectively complete access to your underlying data as your applications see it. So, no more flushing caches when you need to simply change a record.
I can think of a whole bunch of times that this would have saved my life when working on a recent EJB3 project.
