In my line of work these are the databases used with DbVisualizer. MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access (awesome that this is supported!), MySQL and SQLite. DbVisualizer is frequently used for data management, data retrieval, and running queries to perform specific actions such as calculations, writing procedures, functions and triggers. Extensively using the excellent support of exporting/importing data to and from Excel (or csv file) for further data operations and analysis. DbVisualizer is undoubtedly the best DB tool for daily work with databases, especially the fact that DbVisualizer can handle vast number of different database connections in one software suit.
  • Powerful SQL editor for designing and writing queries
  • Data management and and database browser
  • Automation of repetitive tasks
  • Data export to Excel, CSV and HTML
  • Better management of saved queries. Instead of using the operating system's folders, built-in list of saved queries with the option to select each would be helpful.
If access to multiple database engines is required, DbVisualizer is the clear winner. Also, cross-platform compatibility is a big plus. DbVisualizer runs natively on Windows, MAC and Linux. Excellent tool for Database Administration, data visualization and analysis. Creating workflows for repetitive tasks and data manipulation. All of this makes DbVisualizer ideal choice of tool.

I use DBVisualizer as our SQL client of choice for all of my relational database needs on the back of our internal-facing Web Apps, primarily revolving around workflow automation, data visualization/centricity and team connectivity.
  • Provides a lightweight SQL client
  • Easy to setup DB connections
  • Intuitive interface
  • File export process is a bit clunky
  • No NoSQL support
  • No way to kill DB connections
DBVisualizer is a near-perfect tool for any RDBMS needs. The sleek interface is intuitive for new users, query speed is unmatched, supports all notable database engines, and has plenty of bells and whistles for all use cases. Particularly well-suited for rapid web development, less so for more administrative tasks (DB configuration, creation/restore, etc.)

Since we develop ETL from many different data sources, we use DbVisualizer to connect to different sources using Oracle, Informix, or DB2 as database engines. Having a single tool to access any of the different data sources allows us to quickly connect and query source systems, debug SQL sentences, or verify data without installing (and learning to use) multiple IDEs.
  • Ability to connect to MANY!!!!! different database engines on a single IDE
  • Create, alter or drop objects on any data source
  • Ability to export / import data to multiple formats
  • Reverse engineering / Data Model visualization
  • The free version only allows 1 SQL tab (could be a little more generous on that) opened at the same time
Whenever you have to access data sources from more than one database engine provider, you should consider using DbVisualizer for the task. Switching between multiples IDE consumes time and resources (memory), and you also need to learn menus, shortcuts, etc., for each IDE, while using DbVisualizer allows you to work consistently no matter which database engine you are connecting. You can use it to simply navigate through data structures, write SQL sentences or even create new tables and views, develop stored procedures, etc.

As a software development consultant with projects across multiple databases back ends, we use DBVisualizer as an SQL debugging and investigation tool as it provides simple and seamless connection across all of our DB environments. The simple interface for viewing data subsets as well as an instant view of data structures makes tracking down issues so straightforward compared with using (and learning) a different tool for each database.
  • Multi database support in same interface.
  • Quick graphical representation of data structures from table relationships.
  • Easy extraction an export of data subsets in many formats.
  • More of a java driver issue but daylight saving date/time translation in non-timezone field types can be problematic (DB2 timezone fields in particular).
Multi DB issue tracking/debugging is a strength. Support for non-standard SQL features with some databases could be better although this could be JDBC related.

Great Database Client

I use DbVisualizer on a daily basis to monitor and analyze what is happening in our data store. Usage is mostly for RDBMS systems (Oracle, DB2, Postgres, MySQL.
  • Snappy.
  • Intuitive.
  • Large number of supported Datasources supported out of the box.
  • Great visualizations to reverse engineer schema.
  • Support for more NoSQL datasources (DynamoDB, for example).
For any use case, I can imagine DbVisualizer is the best general-purpose SQL client that I have ever used. I have tried others, but keep coming back to DbVisualizer every time.

DbVisualizer is the mostly used Data Tool in our org. It is widely used by Data Engineering community, Data Scientists and Data Analysts.
DbVisualizer querying tool helps with importing and exporting data. Timed SQL execution and real-time graphs are the killer features. It is a multiple-platform tool, based on Java but with a native look and feel.


  • Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful. Creation of graphs also extremely helpful.
  • Query history and auto-recover feature makes sure we don't lose our queries.
  • Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task.
  • Having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package helps during upgrades.
  • Sometimes the app crashes if we export huge amount of data but that's expected.
  • Navigating to the configuration section is quite difficult for beginners.
[DbVisualizer is] extremely useful with Salesforce (assuming availability of an appropriate JDBC driver).
Easy to discover schema, save schema, duplicate databases for multiple environments.
Shows all data in a specified table Data exportable and importable as CSV.
Has most useful features - SQL History, Format SQL, SQL Preview, View data, Explore tables, Generic connection support, Search function.

[DbVisualizer] is the ultimate database management software.
I was looking for a tool that also had easy and presentable ER diagram generation for technical documentation.
We use it for Postgres, SQLite, MySQL and Oracle with excellent results, but it supports many other databases.
Another advantage is that DbVisualizer is cross-platform, I use it on a MAC without any problem.
After years of research, we finally found what we were looking for.
  • Multiplatform
  • Easy to use
  • ER diagram
  • All-in-one
  • In-place blob visualizer
  • Simplify ssh tunnel connection
DbVisualizer is useful for any data related purpose.
Not easy for customers who are not part of the IT department and not good for Business Intelligence analytics.

All-in-one tool

I use DbVisualizer to develop and maintain on a lot of servers. It has a very wide support for different database systems, however I only use it for mysql, postgres and sqlite. It is really powerful and feature rich. Also, it has great support from the company. I had reported a bug once and it got resolved very quickly in the next release + they notified me to test it and confirm it was fixed.
I have tried many different db clients for development and maintenance over my career - once I tried DbVisualizer I have never installed another one.
If I had 1 thing that I would like to improve is support to sync and run DbVisualizer across my computers. Would recommend 10/10
  • Excellent multi database support
  • Very powerful and customizable
  • All-in-one solution
  • Cross-device sync / cloud storage support
It is a great and powerful tool for development and debugging
