+Maatkit is a set of high-quality command-line tools for open-
+source databases, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. The tools
+enable power users to do their work more safely and quickly by
+relying on tested software instead of scripting things
+themselves. The toolkit includes functionality such as table
+checksums, a query profiler, and a visual EXPLAIN tool. It
+also provides missing features such as checking whether slaves
+have the same data as the master.
+
+This requires perl-TermReadKey.
