Review (date Jan 29 2004
):
A solid set of tools for developers and DBAs, flexible and extendable enough due to plug-ins. Plug-ins for various DBMS allow the product to combine the universal access via the ODBC interface with the support for the peculiarities of a specific DBMS. The program allows you to quite comfortably work with several database connections simultaneously. Among the most favorable features we would like to point out the following:
1) a convenient and powerful ER-diagram modeler automatically importing existing relations between tables from a database;
2) a rich set of functions for working with schemas, including their export as DDL scripts.
3) means for comparing database schemas with the option of creating a visual html-report.
We came across a number of minor interface minuses (no tips in the status bar for some menu items), but on the whole we strongly recommend that you should take a closer look at this product.
