Please try out the GridSQL 2.0 beta now available for download from sourceforge.net at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gridsql/files

From the release notes:

This software requires the Java Runtime Environment 5,
version 1.5.0_12 or later. Earlier versions of the JRE may
result in memory leaks that over time result in an OutOfMemory
exception.

GridSQL has also been successfully tested with Java 6 update 18,
and is recommended.

If GridSQL was not installed via an installer that included a
JRE, please go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
to download a Java Runtime Environment

After installing, please make sure that your PATH environment
variable refers to the JRE's bin directory.

This version includes enhancements, performance improvements
and minor bug fixes, including

- Faster, more efficient row shipping which makes cross-node queries and multi-node aggregation execute more quickly
- Faster dumping of data via COPY
- EXPLAIN command is now supported which shows how GridSQL processes queries
- Improved thread connection handling
- Better compatibility with PostgreSQL connectors
- Added support for multiple statements in one request
- Expression based indexes may now be created
- Expanded support for usage of inet, macaddr, and cidr data types

I couldn't get EXPLAIN to work:

Any idea? Thanks

Sorry, you are correct. It was due to a problem with our build process (meaning, if you download the same code and build yourself, you would see that it works ok). We have committed the changes to CVS, and will do a new build sometime next week.

Thanks.

Cool. I applied the changes and EXPLAIN now works. Thank you

An update that fixes the EXPLAIN issue has been uploaded.
