Overall Satisfaction with DbVisualizer

We use it for all manual database interaction. Be it data investigations, initial data profiling, testing methodologies for data manipulation, etc.
  • visually organizes connections/queries/data well
  • handles quick data exports and imports well
  • handles explain plans well
  • does not handle lost connections well (specially after stopping a running query) (MySQL). eg. after hitting stop, and then hitting run again, it can sometimes look like its running the query, but it isn't actually!
  • filtering on databases window is clunky (why the need for filtering certain object types at a time? just filter everything, google style)
  • altering table, adding columns (NOT to the end of the table's columns, but earlier) is not supported (MySQL) even though the db supports it (alter table add column BEFORE..)
  • Simple table based access and viewing data
  • Querying data
  • Editing data
  • Many db tools are out there, but DBV is easier to use, saving hours each month
much simpler to use
more reliable connections
