Really good tool for accessing a new DB schema to understanding e.g. DB schemas in big organisations with zero documentation. I can dump entire DDL to a single file and the data as well, so I can search entire database using grep for a string occurrences, and then figure out the data model in this bottom-up fashion.

It's less well suited for writing/designing large SQL and DDL files because of lack of formatting, autocompletion - I need to use an IDE to create all my big scripts, then test them in the tool.

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've always found DbVisualizer to be very intuitive to use and easy to manage the many DB connections that I have. I use DbVisualizer in all of my work (application development and data science), so I haven't encountered a scenario where it was not useful.

I use for query and sql analysis for check cost and response time for query which in company have the many transaction. I need to use high performance sql. in order not to affect the main operations of the bank It has a very high number of transactions per second, so DBVis is a very good tool choice.

I cannot emphasize enough how much this product has made my life easier when dealing with databases. It is my sole go-to source regardless of the type of database I need to deal with when I need to crack open a table or two. I used the free version for a couple of months, many years ago, and have paid for it ever since. It's worth the price to help keep this product on the market and keep it growing.

It is particularly well suited if you are working in an organization that uses many different database systems. In my previous position I was regularly connecting to Vertica, SQL Server and Redshift and it was nice to use the same (powerful) tool for all of them!

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.)

DbVisualizer is a great all-round IDE if you are dealing with database models that it supports (which is a quite extensive list). It's not a visualization tool but has great models for table relationship diagrams and is well suited for learning about new databases or sets and just query writing in general.

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.

Well suited for medium size to large Oracle system that includes a large and complex database schema with many database objects including functions and triggers. Also well suited for a medium size to large Microsoft SQL Server system with many complex database objects. Its SQL editor and query builder are well suited in developing complex SQL queries.

DbVisualizer is a great tool to use with relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc... If your organization has different databases, then having DbVisualizer will allow you to have a standard tool to work with all of them. However, if you only have one type of database and your DBA is highly skilled with that particular database, then you probably should go with whatever tool he/she is most comfortable with. In either case, you can't go wrong with having DbVisualizer in your toolbox.

One of the most common scenarios is when a section of the database needs to be explained to the work team. It also sometimes helps to visualize optimization opportunities in the relationships between tables or the best way to approach a procedure. It also helps in the analysis of new support tables that contain keys that speed up the indexing of the data.

DbVisualizer is really useful where there's a JDBC connection to an existing data store and that data store supports a SQL interface. It's less useful, although functional, at many non-relational stores. I'd recommend it for small departments where the engineers need to poke around on an existing database. I'm not sure I'd recommend it at an organizational level since the use cases for DbVisualizer tend to be very team and data specific.

I believe to connect any sql db is really appropriate, and assuming we have different environments, you could label each connection. Also could connect to different db - just need load the jdbc driver, and it allow[s] save the queries. Also autocomplete feature is really helpful, and you could export the data which is also helpful.
