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.
Pros
- visually organizes connections/queries/data well
- handles quick data exports and imports well
- handles explain plans well
Cons
- 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
