I've been playing around with JLINQ some more (post on that next week I hope) and in the midst I was referred to a really nice open source Eclipse plugin, QuantumDB.
I installed it and have to say that those guys really know what they're doing. I plugged in our JDBC drivers and was off and running queries, inspecting results, the whole nine yards. I haven't found any real problems with it yet, but wanted to keep track of when I found a really neat tool to help me with DB programming. Just being able to do this is really neat, although it doesn't give you the realtime feedback during programming like JLINQ does.
Anyway, for a tool that allows you to have open DB connections in the programming environment is a real time saver.
