Hi all, what's the best frontend tool to manage H2 database? Create table, alter table, add coloumn ecc ecc..

Thanks.

I haven't used it, but RazorSQL looks pretty good.

I like SQuirreL SQL Client, and NetBeans is useful even without the nice plugin, discussed here; but more often, I just fire up the built-in org.h2.tools.Server and browse port 8082:

$ java -cp /opt/h2/bin/h2.jar org.h2.tools.Server -help
Starts the H2 Console (web-) server, TCP, and PG server.
Usage: java org.h2.tools.Server 
When running without options, -tcp, -web, -browser and -pg are started.
Options are case sensitive. Supported options are:
[-help] or [-?]         Print the list of options
[-web]                  Start the web server with the H2 Console
[-webAllowOthers]       Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-webPort ]       The port (default: 8082)
[-webSSL]               Use encrypted (HTTPS) connections
[-browser]              Start a browser and open a page to connect to the web server
[-tcp]                  Start the TCP server
[-tcpAllowOthers]       Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-tcpPort ]       The port (default: 9092)
[-tcpSSL]               Use encrypted (SSL) connections
[-tcpPassword ]    The password for shutting down a TCP server
[-tcpShutdown ""]  Stop the TCP server; example: tcp://localhost:9094
[-tcpShutdownForce]     Do not wait until all connections are closed
[-pg]                   Start the PG server
[-pgAllowOthers]        Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-pgPort ]        The port (default: 5435)
[-baseDir ]        The base directory for H2 databases; for all servers
[-ifExists]             Only existing databases may be opened; for all servers
[-trace]                Print additional trace information; for all servers

How about the H2 console application?
