Review (date Jul 6 2003
):
Advanced Query Tool is a really good program for viewing databases, creating requests, working with data in databases and much more. The program supports all ODBC compatible with DBMS and has additional settings for Oracle, DB2/UDB, DB2/390, DB2/400, Sybase Anywhere, Sybase ASE, MS SQL Server, Informix, MySQL, Pervasive.SQL and SQLBase. Simultaneous access to various data sources is supported. The program has a convenient interface with few buttons, but allowing to get the necessary data layout, to change the data presentation or to switch between data presentations quite easily. At the same time the entire interface is context-dependent and you don't need to make your way through the huge lists of all available commands to choose only what is appropriate and possible in each particular case. In the program there is almost everything you may need to work with a DB. The set of features and options is impressive. You can even say about somewhat functional and interface redundancy. But it doesn't spoil the impression, as this redundancy is barely visible to the eye. On the whole, the program seems to be a good choice taking into account its small price and such a wide range of well-realized features.
