    dbForge SQL Complete is well suited for professionals that have to write code all day. In my role in the business intelligence department we are writing SQL pretty much all day. Having a tool that helps us do that faster, in a cleaner way is pretty awesome and something that pays for itself quickly.

    The payment card industry is best as it has built-in PCI DSS compliant and in a transactional DB where there are a lot of DML activities the size of the database must be increased.

    Pros
    Devart
    • SQL complete allows you to create custom snippets that allow you to store frequently ran queries in shortcuts. The code can be populated within seconds!
    • Another great benefit is custom aliases. If you frequently reference the same tables over and over again it gets tiresome to retype the aliases. Storing these can make your code more consistent and save time.
    • SQL complete will also highlight the metadata within your database. For example, if you start typing an insert statement you populate code for all the field names by pressing the tab. This is a real-time saver for wide tables!

    Cons
    Devart
    • Sometimes it can be slow to retrieve the database metadata.
    • Updating the software with the activation/deactivation of licenses could be further streamlined.

    • Should have a compression algorithm to compress the audited logs, as it will take a lot of space.
    • Can not audit all the DML and DDL activities as it will take a lot of space, should have a compression algo.
