    Dr Antonio Homem was a respected teacher in the University of Coimbra, a Canon in the Cathedral and an illustrious scholar. He was also the heir of a long Jewish family tradition. His great-great-grand father lived and died as a Jew. His great-grandfather, his grandmother and two of his uncles were among his relatives to have been sentenced as judaisers by the Inquisition. His own father kept the Law of Moses, and taught it to all his children, without the knowledge of his wife, an Old Christian of noble lineage. His concern for the situation of the New Christians in Portugal eventually made him build up a congregation of judaisers, which he called the Fellowship of St Diogo as a tribute to a Capuchin friar who had been executed a few years earlier as an apostate and defender of the Jewish Law. His congregation grew to include over sixty people, including clerics, physicians, lawyers and students, as well as merchants and farmers. Its leader gave it a corpus of doctrine and eventually a distinctive liturgy, which showed influence from the Catholic Church. The Fellowship also inspired the creation of judaiser conventicles in three major Monasteries in the Coimbra district, where a relatively large number of nuns held cult meetings and paid homage to Friar Diogo as a martyr of the Law of Moses. After several years of activity, the Fellowship was investigated and dismantled by the Inquisition. Most of its members were arrested and sentenced. Dr AntOnio Homem was himself taken into custody, charged with heresy and apostasy, as well as sodomy (he was a known paederast), and finally handed over to the secular arm for execution. His dream of building up a judaiser community in Coimbra was shattered. The Fellowship members who survived either left the country and joined the orthodox Jewish communities in the Netherlands and elsewhere, or stayed in Portugal and gradually lost their Jewish consciousness. Descendants of some of them can still be found near Coimbra

    O desenvolvimento sustentável é o grande paradigma do desenvolvimento humano nos dias atuais, por isso, novas metodologias para o planejamento e gerenciamento de sistemas, em especial o de recursos hídricos vêm sendo desenvolvidas, que não se restringem mais a pura avaliação econômica, mas, também, a sustentabilidade sócio-ambiental. A utilização de bancos de dados é imprescindível para a manipulação de dados e informações dos mais diversos tipos, que podem ser usados para armazenar dados históricos, e demais informações necessárias para uso futuro. Portanto, este artigo tem como foco principal apresentar a aplicação desenvolvida para manipular tabelas de um banco de dados, permitir e facilitar a inclusão, eliminação, renomeação de tabelas e campos de uma tabela de forma a substituir alguns comandos SQL disponíveis em programas dos vários bancos de dados disponíveis. Diante disso, essa aplicação vai agregar valor ao sistema de suporte a decisão em fase de desenvolvimento pela equipe GOTA (Grupo de Otimização Total da Ãgua) que precisa em muitos casos, fazer alterações em sua base de dados para permitir maior flexibilidade e manipulação dos dados, tais como: cadastro de reservatórios, perímetros irrigados, estações meteorológicas, estações fluviométricas, instituições, entre outras. Esta aplicação permite realizar de forma inteligente e rápida a manipulação das tabelas de um banco de dados que na presente versão funciona no banco de dados PostgreSQL e foi desenvolvida na plataforma Java que é uma plataforma que permite sua instalação nos diversos tipos de sistemas operacionais e diversos tipos de computadores.

ABSTRACT Nowadays, sustainable development is the great paradigm of human development, because of that new methodologies for the planning and management of systems, specially the ones for hydric resources, are being developed, this forms of evaluation are no longer restricted to mere economic evaluation, but are also submitted to social and environmental sustainability evaluation. The use of databases is essential for the manipulation of the most diverse kinds of data and information, which can be utilized for storing historical data and other information necessary for future use. Therefore, this article focuses mainly on presenting the application developed to manipulate tables in a database, to allow and facilitate the inclusion, elimination, renaming of tables and table fields in order to substitute some SQL commands available in programs of the various available databases. Thus, this application will add value to the decision support system that is being developed by GOTA (Group of Water Total Optimization) which in many cases needs to make changes in its database for obtaining greater flexibility and data manipulation, such as register of reservoirs, irrigated perimeters, meteorological stations, gauged stations, institutions, etc. This application allows an intelligent and fast manipulation of tables in a database, which the present version runs on the PostgreSQL database and was developed in Java platform, which is a platform that permits its installation in several types of operational systems and many kinds of computers.
