Likelihood to Recommend If you are connecting to
Snowflake and want to query from your laptop, I find that this is much easier to use than
Snowflake 's IDE. It allows us as a business intelligence team to more easily connect to our servers, and code with much less hassle. It would be less appropriate if you are only on an on-premises SQL server, in that case, I would just use SSMS.
Read full review Legacy applications already on VFP are a good candidate. If you plan to move to iOS and Android apps, VFP is not for you. Also, in future access to VFP programmers may be limited. You could use VFP as a powerful database tool. I know of many programmers who love to exploit the features of VFP to create easy to use applications.

It still works on Windows 10, but if you have a problem, you are on your own. The look and feel of screens and displayed text is getting a little dated. It's really designed for desktop/server environments rather than the cloud. Read full review Usability There are several easy to use and powerful features of VFP that programmers like.

Read full review Although MS has discontinued support of VFP there is a good community of programmers that are available for help. In fact we have several programmers at Apptread that are skilled not only in VFP but also .NET so that if there is a need to migrate some parts of applications to .NET , it is easy for us to do that.
Read full review Alternatives Considered MySQL workbench from
MySQL only supports
MySQL databases and it only provides basic functionality. On top of that, the user experience could be quite confusing for first-time users. SSMS from SQL server doesn't support inline editing nicely. The view for inline editing and view data is different, making it uncomfortable to use. All in all, DBeaver is the best tool when you manage a lot of databases with different types.

Read full review Return on Investment Positive Ability to manage DBeaver and query ad-hoc quickly By having the queries saved it has saved developer time and thereby increased the ROI on the investment on the tool This has made firefighting quicker and freed up resources for more development work. Read full review Positive impact is that the value of FoxPro applications has continued to increase over the years, so we are in high demand for our services. Negative impact is that sometimes you have difficult to support scenarios where you might have to spend many hours to just keep something functional. A negative impact is that this language is taught in very few places, either in schools, or private learning centers. Read full review ScreenShots
