A TOP-PERFORMING SQL Server EDITOR
A SQL Server client you can trust
DbVisualizer has been a top-performing SQL Server database client for a long time.
It includes all you need to connect, develop and manage your SQL Server database. It has support for SQL Server specific object types and everything else that makes MSSQL Server great.
OBJECT TYPES AND ACTIONS
Supports object types specific to SQL Server
DbVisualizer gives you full control of your SQL Server database. It even offers support for object types and actions specific to Microsoft SQL Server. Here are some examples.
Triggers
Automated actions responding to database events in SQL Server tables.
Procedures
Stored code blocks in SQL Server for repetitive tasks and logic.
Constraints
Rules enforcing data integrity and relationships in SQL Server tables.
PROPERTIES
Configurable for how you want to work
You can set up custom properties for your MSSQL databases directly in DbVisualizer, so that you can make it the best Microsoft SQL client matching your preferences. Make sure the user is prompted to enter User ID and password. Enable preprocessing of scripts. You can even set up auto-commit and much more.
The properties below and many more can be configured in the MSSQL manager to match how you want to work.
SQL CLIENT
The universal
database tool
DbVisualizer is meticulously engineered to handle objects and properties specific to SQL Server - but our out-of-the-box features work across almost any data source.
VISUALIZATION
Automatic visualizations
Relations are crucial in SQL Server, and DbVisualizer will help you automatically generate visual Entity Relationship Diagrams so that you can understand dependencies and opportunities directly in the client.
EDITOR
A powerful editor for SQL Server
Writing SQL for SQL Server is similar, but not exactly the same as for other databases. DbVisualizer understands these nuances and helps you write SQL queries more efficiently.
SCHEDULING
Scheduling with SQL Server Agent
DbVisualizer supports the use of SQL server agent for scheduling of tasks.
Jobs can also be automatically scheduled outside of the MSSQL client, using the command-line interface and the pre-built scheduling tools of your OS.
MAVEN
JDBC driver management via Maven
DbVisualizer always has the latest JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server, and historical versions. With the JDBC driver manager you’ll easily connect to your databases using JDBC drivers hosted on Maven, with multiple versions to choose from.

The only professional software that I'm ready to pay from my own pocket I can access Microsoft SQL server, Postgresql and Mariadb/mysql with the same tool. It can find the metadata and data definitions of all of them. I can't even remember how many years I've used it but I use it for my hobby projects at home and my work projects at work. It is awesome. I like the license, I can install this to all the environments I use to access databases and it is both allowed and possible. 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

Excellent Universal SQL Client. Working in a school district, I deal with a lot of databases from a lot of different vendors. With DbVisualizer, I can easily switch between all the various databases (including Oracle, MariaDB, mySQL, and Microsoft SQL server), all from one interface. I use this application daily in my position as Data Manager. Installation and configuration was simple. Customer support has always been fast and friendly, but I have not needed to contact them frequently. Pricing is extremely reasonable. show less

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

Great tool, been using for 6+ years. I use DBVisualizer frequently - practically daily - over several SQL Server databases. As a business analyst, I use it for doing production support, testing software modifications, etc. DB Visualizer is easy to use, does everything I ask of it. Connections are easy to set up and I really like being able to set the color for different connections - to provide a visual cue as to which environment I am working in (production vs test). DB Visualizer has lots of features that I haven't used but would like to explore. I like that DBVis is continually making improvements to the software. show less
