Synametrics WinSQL Pro v6.5.76.586

WinSQL is a "must have" utility for DBAs and programmers who deal
with databases. It empowers them to be more productive by
providing an intuitive tool that can talk to any database through
ODBC.

As Jim Arnolds puts it, "The professional version of WinSQL is the
best database administration tool with many features that can be
packaged separately into a product of its own. With WinSQL you get
all these products bundled into one package.

More than 80% of today's business applications require interaction
with a relational database. In a typical enterprise there are many
databases provided by multiple vendors, such as Oracle, DB2,
Sybase, MS SQL Server, Informix and others. In such heterogeneous
environments developers face a constant challenge of using
multiple tools, one for each database, to get their day-to-day
task done. Besides, some back-end databases do not provided
adequate, GUI based, and feature rich tools on the front-end.

WinSQL solves all these problems by providing developers with one
interface that connects to a variety of back-end databases through
ODBC.

With WinSQL you can:
* Database administrators can easily and effectively manage any
relational database
* Programmers can quickly write SQL statements, capture their
response time and convert them into code
* Get metadata for tables, views, stored procedures, triggers,
rules, etc.
* Learn how to write SQL statements by using wizards that build
SQL for you
* Transfer data from one source to another
* Reverse engineer a database
* Draw E/R Diagrams
* Generate test data with millions of meaningful rows
* Find structural differences between two databases
* Find data differences between two tables in different databases

How does it work?
It's simple. WinSQL can talk to any database for which you have an
ODBC driver. Most of the databases today come with an ODBC driver
and usually it is free. The ODBC Driver Manager gets installed on
every machine with the Windows Operating System. WinSQL talks to
the ODBC driver through the Driver Manager. ODBC Driver converts
generic ODBC calls into database specific requests and sends it to
the back-end server. The server computes the results and sends
them back to WinSQL through the driver.
