Review (date Jun 24 2003
):
DBExplorer is a powerful tool for comparing schemes and contents of two databases as well as for their synchronization. It is these features that are successfully and properly realized in the product. All the rest - i.e. viewing the scheme, creating SQL requests, viewing the results etc. - is realized quite ordinary, but successfully supplements the main features. What is especially valuable is the support of any OLE DB and ODBC compatible DBMS. DBExplorer can be recommended for those administrators and developers who often compare various DB version, synchronize distributed DBs, etc. The only bug in the program performance is the following: the window for viewing the source index code and the constrained tables are not always refreshed.
