Quickly build an efficient environment for users

  • Present your database schema the way you want. Group database objects in a tree, hide unwanted objects, change obscure object names to user-friendly ones, even in the query text.
  • Build an efficient space to browse query results with paging, filtering, and sorting by means of SQL, and edit and export data if needed.
  • Employ query parameters to make queries reusable. Detect parameters in the query, get information about their type and usage, and even cut off conditions with unneeded parameters.
  • Let users build a repository of handy query snippets like database views to simplify the queries.
  • Beautify SQL queries with customizable SQL text formatting.

Leverage additional ready-to-use facilities to speed up development:

  • Property Forms to set up database connections to different servers
  • Methods to save and restore user query repositories
  • Handy editors to configure database schema by admins
  • Forms to customize the component properties in run-time
