Overall Satisfaction with DbVisualizer
We use dbvis to test database connections during the installation of our product on customers' servers. This lets us verify that a connection is not 'lost' on the way to the database. As we use JDBC as our primary connection method, DBIS provides an easy, additional, and independent way to test the connection. We use dbvis to check stored data, review table structures and metadata (e.g., when selects or inserts fail), and verify table permissions for the user who is having connection issues. We love the in-cell data editing feature, which is much easier than building SQL queries for every entry. This also allows a quick manual review of the stored data, even with large tables, and fixes the most obvious errors instantly. We test, build, and also 'deconstruct' SQL queries when there is a need to check on long-running queries. This helps us identify, for example, misused indices and other issues. We use it to easily export complete tables and data for a wide variety of DBMS for our customers and ourselves. It helps us visualize relationships and identify faults that are often not obvious within our codebase.
Pros
- Easy visualize Db-data.
- Connect to a wide range of Dbms.
- Ease of data manipulation.
- Managing a great number of different Db-connections.
- Work with big queries.
Cons
- Support for troubleshooting on a Dbms level.
- Automatically suggest syntax differences with different Dbms.
- Sharing of Db connections.
- Startup time.
- It allows us to query databases without paying extra for proprietary tools or worrying about licensing.
- It is one tool that replaced several others.
- We need to build know-how for only one tool, not several, so developers can spend their time working rather than figuring out other tools.
- We need more licenses than we have developers. A 'per person' licence or a 'per install' licence would be great.
DBeaver is used by some of our customers. We find it clunky and unintuitive. One customer used TOAD for his Oracle installation (15+ years ago). We did not like it at all. When researching for a universal database tool some 20 years ago, we found dbvis and never looked back. We have not found a need to look for other soulutions so we never checked others.
