The Oracle client with the best user reviews
A TOP-PERFORMING ORACLE CLIENT
The trusted Oracle client
DbVisualizer has a long history of being users’ preferred Oracle client.
It has everything you need to develop, connect and manage your Oracle database. It supports Oracle-specific object types and everything else that makes Oracle a great db.
OBJECT TYPES AND ACTIONS
Oracle object specific support
DbVisualizer puts you in the driver seat for your Oracle database. It even offers support for object types and actions specific to the Oracle database. Here are some examples.
Triggers
Called automatically whenever an edit event occurs in the database.
Procedures
A sequence of SQL statements stored for reuse and execution.
Sequences
User-defined schema-bound object that yields a sequence of integers.
PROPERTIES
Configure the Oracle client to your liking
Set the properties for the Oracle client so it works as you want directly properties pane. Decide if the user needs to enter a User ID and password to access the interface. Enable or disable pre-processing of scripts. You can even set up auto-commit and much more.
The properties below and many more can be configured in the Oracle manager to match how you want to work.
SQL client
The universal
database tool
DbVisualizer is thoughtfully engineered to handle objects and properties specific to Oracle - and it also includes features that work across almost any data source.
VISUALIZATION
Automatic visualizations
The relationships between objects in Oracle are essential to understand. With automatically generated ERDs you’ll be able to visualize dependencies and opportunities directly in the Oracle client.
EDITOR
A powerful editor for Oracle
Writing SQL for Oracle isn’t exactly like writing SQL for other databases. DbVisualizer understands the subtle differences and provides relevant suggestions, letting you create better SQL queries more efficiently.
SCHEDULING
Scheduling with Oracle Scheduler
DbVisualizer supports the use of Oracle Scheduler for the scheduling of tasks.
Jobs can also be scheduled outside of the Oracle client, using the command-line interface (CLI) and the pre-built scheduling tools of your OS.
MAVEN
Oracle JDBC driver management
The management of Oracle JDBC drivers is automatic with DbVisualizer. With the JDBC driver manager you’ll easily connect to your Oracle database using JDBC drivers hosted on Maven, with multiple versions to choose from.

DbVisualizer Streamlines Data Gathering Needs into 1 Application DbVisualizer streamlines my query needs by making it a one-stop shop. I have MongoDB, T-SQL, Oracle, etc. connections set up so I can access everything from one simple query tool. I like how I can connect to multiple database types from one application. I also like being able to quickly view the data without having to write or wait for a default query to run. The export to CSV is so much faster and easier than your standard SSMS. show less

Everyday data manipulation tool, including weekends I've been using DbVisualizer for many years and I've never felt the need to consider another tool for my database needs. I use this professionally as well as for my hobby projects and DbVisualizer is light enough to be used at home and strong enough to handle extensive reports that I do at work (and export them to excel ). Over the 10+ years I've contacted support and have always had a prompt response and very qualified help. I use this tool with everything from H2 embedded databases to Oracle production servers and the thing I like most is how I'm given the best support for all of these databases/vendors. show less

I have used DbVisualizer for the last five years on multiple ERPs and I love its functionality. What I like best is the easy way to explore data and see the links between data sets. I have used it against sql server, Oracle, Postgresql. I believe it is more friendly and easier to use than MSSQL.

Great tool for browsing databases We were using the free version of this tool since many years: there was enough functionalities for developer purpose. I tried the PRO version and it is really a gain of time for inserting/updating/deleting data. I recommend this tool for its lower price and lots of functionality comparing to other 'big' ones. The most useful functionality for me is the simplicity of the interface and the number of various databases I can set up like Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase. show less

The Swiss Army Knife of SQL Tools. We work with at least 7 different database vendors: Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, Ingres, and DB2. DbVisualizer works with them all. And it works well. Most often DbVis is better than vendor-specific management tools. The feature set was determined by actual DBAs and developers. The Export tools are so flexible and easy to use. Searching/filtering is also well thought out. And of course the ability to visually edit data in a predictable interface is priceless. show less

It works like a charm. It has a nice and intuitive interface that allows me to work with different database servers using common commands. For example, if you need to export a table, you can use the same graphical interface or the same command line, (@export) whatever you are working with Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL or MariaDB.It is a reliable and user-friendly tool for the SQL and PL/SQL - T-SQL developer, and also for the DBA. At least, It includes common administration features for the engines I just mentioned, so, again, I only need one interface for doing my job whatever engine I'm working on. show less

One Tool Supporting Many Vendors. Options - support for a number of database management systems in one tool. Unlike some of the alternatives, there is actual support behind these claims.Ease of Install - You can pull down a combined installer that handle JVM dependencies - making the install a breeze. Especially useful when rolling out to non-developers.Features - DbVisualizer comes standard with everything you need to work with modern databases. Query support, schema discovery and object scripting. Great visual queues when working across non-prod and production environments.Driver management can be a little tedious at times, but it still beats building out JDBC connections in a text file by a mile.I first started using DbVisulaizer years ago when searching for a replacement for Toad at a SaaS startup in Mountain View. We were looking to lower some of our operational costs around the management of our Oracle investments. As time progressed, the team began working with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL and Cassandra. The selection of DbVisulaizer to replace an Oracle centric tool for us became a great universal investment. show less

DBVisualizer get everything done for me. My company has a diverse set of systems for IT, Finance, Forecasting, and Manufacturing and we use multiple databases from Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, AS/400 DB2, Sparks, etc. DBVisualizer allows me to quickly connect to these databases and do any data manipulation I need to do for my work. I need to do integration work frequently and the first tool I start with has always been DBVisualizer. The best features for me are its easy-to-understand menu system and the diverse output options it supports. I use it daily to extract the data I need from one system and integrate them with other systems. show less
