GridSQL is rehashed Extendb and it doesn't work

This is a totally weak vaporware thing. They bought a single developer that made a java front end called Extendb that doesn’t even work. Why not check out CJDBC while you are at it.

If you want to download it (gridsql) go here:

Note that when you click on www.extendb.com you are redirected to edb’s website.

I’m so sick of vendor claims without proof, where are the customers?
