DbVisualizer is a feature rich, intuitive multi-database tool for developers, analysts and database administrators, providing a single powerful interface across a wide variety of operating systems. With its easy-to-use and clean interface, DbVisualizer has proven to be one of the most cost effective database tools available, yet to mention that it runs on all major operating systems and supports all major RDBMS that are available. Users only need to learn and master one application. DbVisualizer integrates transparently with the operating system being used.
DbVisualizer is available in two versions - the paid version DbVisualizer Pro with complete access to all highly optimized Pro features, and DbVisualizer Free with limited but still powerful functionalities.
