Eclipse has a database development perspective and using the Database
Explorer you can manipulate data directly.

script to start the apache in the background without installing it as a
service.
And the cli and the apache was using the same php.ini.
If I set the extension_dir relative to the apache/bin, then the cli was
throwing the missing dll error, but if I changed to the ./ext, then the
apache php module was missing it.
:)
Now I created separate php.ini for the apache and the cli, and its working
without problem.
Sorry for bothering you guys.
