Overall Satisfaction with DbVisualizer

This product has become an indispensable part of my developer repertoire. Whenever I'm dealing with a database, either one of my own creations or someone else's, this is the product I turn to. It allows me to discover database schemas, run queries, alter tables, indices, views, etc., and basically do anything and possibly everything I can do to a database - be it SQL based or NoSQL based, large or small.
  • Provides simple access to all tables, indexes, views, triggers, stored procedures, etc., to just about every database on the market
  • Allows me to develop and run queries in a simple, easy to read and understand manner
  • Allows me to create entire new schemas as well as alter existing schemas
  • Gives me access to databases without the need to install specific drivers for any particular database
  • The record limit, while usually accessible on-screen, moves around based on what the current view is or is not there at all sometimes
  • Pressing the STOP button on a query does not immediately stop the query
  • Updates, while always welcome, sometimes seem to come with too much frequency
  • Access to just about every database on the market today
  • Hard to say, but definitely a positive impact in terms of time spent
The only time I use a product that is specific to a particular database is when I need to perform some product-specific function on that database. Otherwise, for everything else, I use DbVisualizer.

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.
