Reasons include service providers making greater use of open-source databases, plus the rise of alternatives such as NoSQL. This is particularly relevant as the impact of the cloud (i.e., SAAS) is beginning to be felt in the commercial database market. There are some nice commercial IDEs such as dbArtisan and SQL Server’s Management Studio, but IDEs is one area where open-source can do just as well (or in some cases, even better). Yes, it’s possible to do everything in SQL from the command line but creating or even maintaining databases and tables that way is an exercise in masochism. If you’ve done a lot with SQL, you’ve probably used some form of SQL IDE to help you complete that work.
