Anyone tracking new developments with PC or MAC front-end
applications for building and sending SQL queries to
heterogeneous remote servers?

I saw a demo of a product called 'Forest and Trees' which
was running under Windows that could address an IBM
AS/400 SQL database server as well as local PC data files
of various vendors (that were not from SQL-based servers)
and then summarize and graph the result sets that came back.


Does anyone know if `Forest and Trees' or any other query
generating front-end operates over TCP/IP to remote SQL
data servers?
