What users Say

Thanks, DBVisualizer 6.0.10 people!
It's a great product, and I don't know what I'd do without it. Pity the fools Still typing their SQL in at the Unix command line.

Have been using it for at least three years now and it gets better and better. That's I just renewed the license. It's funny, where I work we have a lot of software from Scandinavia:

1) MySql & DBVisualizer from Sweden
2) FAST ESP from Norway
3) Linux from Finland

Keep up the good work, and thanks for the great software and beautiful women. But please keep your lutefisk!

Kudos to the DbVisualizer development team for such an outstanding product. I have been a customer of DB Visualizer Professional for 6 years and I appreciate the constant effort you put into the product year in and year out. I use the product for many different development utilities I write and it has proved invaluable. Truly an Enterprise caliber product priced very aggressively. Thanks again!

Just want to give all you developers a big fat hug. What a splendid product DbVisulaizer is! The user-predictive interface saves me tons of time! (And I'm not just saying this because I'm high on Mt. Dew soda (ok maybe a little bit (but not too much!)))
   University of Arizona's PTS - Jody Brabec

Just wanted to say what a great job you guys are doing with db visualizer. I've been using it for years. As a java developer, I've worked for many companies over the years, and used lots of different databases. DB Visualizer is such a great tool, I don't know how I'd do my job without it.

Subject: BeautiFULL software to work with databases
DbVisualizer is really nice and UI interface very good One can easily expert in querying database with this software, even if he/she is new to the database.
   Dhana kumar

Thanks to the DbVisualizer team for the great product! We have been evaluating similar tools and this one stands out due to its simplicity, robustness and, very importantly, to its support for many database vendors. The responsive and friendly interface, makes it a not only a great example for Java applications, but also a tool that greatly enhances productivity for everyday tasks of administering multiple databases. The Query Builder for example saves a great deal of time to creating/reverse engineering queries in a very intuitive manner. Saved us considerable time and greatly helped us in our work of supporting an International Humanitarian Organization. Strongly recommended. Keep up the great work!

However, let me say OUTSTANDING PRODUCT! I am truly happy and impressed. I waffled about the price for a while (buying it for personal use). And I hate to admit that after purchasing I think it is worth far more. That's not to say that I didn't buy for a long time due to the price point.

The other thing about the price... I didn't know what I was getting into. The differences between the free and paid-for product are not clear. If you have an opportunity, have all features in the "full" visible but non-working in the free version. There are SO MANY features in the full version I had no idea at all were going to be available. I would have bought almost immediately had I known

Just a little customer thoughts. Either way. The best quote I can give you is "WOW". I'm a lead developer at FedEx and I'm working my organization to install this application as a standard, it's simply so good. With any luck that will mean a bit more business for you and money for your well-deserved coffers. Thanks So Much!

As someone who deals with multiple datasets from multiple data sources, DbVisualizer has proven to be quite useful and easy to use for my database needs. I've worked with other programs in the past and learned to adjust to their idiosyncracies. In contrast, I've found DbVisualizer to be much more user friendly and responsive to my needs. I've recommended the program to others doing similar work and found they were as pleased as myself.
   Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment - Christine Tilburg

hey guys, i've been using dbV for a bit now and i just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate this wonderful tool. it may not mean much to some, but to me, i think what you guys are doing is awesome! i'm glad that the free version is robust because after using it for a while i know that should I get the opportunity to talk my company into buying a db tool - i will recommend dbV so keep up the great work - that's all.

Subject: I love DbVisualizer 5.0.
I am a licensed user of DbVisualizer 5.0. I am very pleased with the product. As I get to know it, the better it gets. As a programmer, I can appreciate the excellence the design and implementation of this program. My license fee was indeed well spent.
   John Stanford White

I've been using DbVisualizer as a developer for about 5 years now. It has never failed to impress me as one of the most useful tools in my toolbox. As a consultant I've used it with almost every database implementation that exists, all without fail. I am very excited to see that "Explain Plan" is now supported in 5.0. It's not often that a tool can be so useful for so long to a developer. I've tried all of the others, but I always come back to DbVisualizer. Keep up the great work!

When Unicon provides training, we must work with many different platforms and people of various backgrounds. DbVisualizer is our answer to providing a consistent database tool in the training lab environment.
   Unicon, Inc. - Cris J. Holdorph

DbVisualizer's features and pricing helped make it the standard data access tool in our organization. Its value allowed us to put a powerful tool on more desktops than we could with competing products.
   RouteOne - R.J. Bussone

Probably the best $99 I've spent on a development tool. I use it constantly and haven't experienced a single problem with it. I nearly spent eight times that amount on a competing product (TOAD).
   Roger Lee

Using dbvisualizer I improved my dba skills, and now I'm working on an International known Company. I don't know how to thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!
   Nachou Palomar

I have been using DBVisualizer for quite sometime. I have connections to a host of DBs including SQL Server 2000. Works just like a song. The speed and reliability is just awesome. Very well done. Thanks for creating the product.
   Sridhar

DbVisualizer is GORGEOUS! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!!!
   Andrew Vardeman

I truely love your product. It is awesome. As a fellow Java Developer, I am thoroughly impressed with your GUI design and master use of Swing. Very well done. I am also impressed with the speed and reliability of the results that are returned from ad hoc queries.
   Anonymous

I've been using DbVisualizer 2.1 for a little while now and it is a fantastic product. Thank you for developing such a great tool. I wanted to let you know that I've been using it successfully to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7 and 2000 using J-NetDirect's JSQLConnect JDBC driver (www.j-netdirect.com). I've also connected to an older Pervasive database (www.pervasive.com) using Pervasvive's JDBC driver. It seems that DBVisualizer will happily use any JDBC driver and successfully connect to a database.
   Patrick D'Cruze

Great job, I can't believe DbVisualizer is better than Oracle tools, keep the good work guys
   JJ Gonzalez

Thank you for v3.0 I have just downloaded it and it looks great. I have been using DBVis with Informix (Solaris and NT) for a year now and I have NEVER had a problem. I have been using the com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver without a single problem.... Thank you very much for a wonderful product it is the easiest tools I have EVER used to manage an RDBMS!
   Andrew Glover

I can't believe this software is available for free. It is a tool I use daily in software development of enterprise Java applications. A well written and wonderful tool!
   John Carl

just wanted to tell you that DbVisualizer is one of the best applications i've ever used to access a database. Congratz to the whole team for such an amazing tool and go on like this.
   Alexander Weber

Probably, I'm not the first person to congratulate you for the DbVisualizer, but I'd not like to be the last. It's incredibly fantastic. Fast, rosbust, great visual, nice functionalities, ... The tool I was looking for... not anymore. And that I'll surely recommend. Thanks and congratulations again,

Thank you . Greatings from Germany , Hamburg , an Linux User
   Frank Bielemeier

I just wanted to commend you on your DBVisualizer 2.1 release. Your free download totally disproves the maxim, "You get what you pay for" I've been testing fairly costly Java-based products for the past couple of months and could only dream of a time when half of these were of the same quality as your free tool.
   Chris Burton

GREAT TOOL! thanx! worked for both our mysql and orcale DB immediately and i'm rather a newbie
   Till

This is a wonderful product! I spent a disappointing 3 hours this morning on the net looking for a JDBC explorer without any luck until I found DbVisualizer. The design, functionality, and installation were ALL wonderfully put together. I look forward to learning about your other products - in my opinion, you definitely have an outstanding track record!
   Anthony Whitfield

I downloaded DBVisualizer v2.1 a little while ago and have been playing with it...I am VERY impressed! Nice work!! My platform is a Sun UltraSPARC running 'Solaris8 with MySQL, and J2SE 1.3.1 with the mm.mysql jdbc driver. All functions work and appear stable. Please keep up the great work!
   Dave McGuire

Like a SAP technical consultant sometimes I need a simple database tool for different databases of our customers. DbVisualizer is an excellent solution and its free !
   Jiri Ehrlich

Thanks. Great product - I wish more developers would take a shot at Swing applications. Products such as yours and JEdit really point up the potential for slick, professional Swing software.
   Kevin Finch

I have been using your product for a couple of years now and I would like to express my thanks for having such a great (and free!) product. I have been pleasantly surprised to find such a reliable db product that performs well on the linux environment. Keep up the good work!
   Jimmy

DbVisualizer is such a tremendously useful tool, now I can't live without it. After downloading, it took less than 5 minutes to setup. And the menus were so intuitive, it didn't take any time at all for me to start using it. I don't have to use SQL-Plus any more to see the structure or contents of tables or databases. Even I can update them from the GUI. Amazingly, it's free!!!! Thank you for this terrific tool.
   Shahid Ahmed

DB Visualizer is a great tool, I use it all the time. Thanks for this contribution.
   Jim McDonald

I love DbVisualizer!!! I saw TOAD on one of our DBA's wintel boxes and I thought it looked pretty usefull. Asked around for a similar tool for linux, got blank stares ... then I found this code on Freshmeat .. THANK YOU! It has cut many hours off my development time. Instead of finding where I stored those DDL files or connecting up with sqlplus or another text tool, I can just pop up DbVisualizer and *voila*! Instant Data, DB Structure and more...

I've spent a good amount of time looking for and testing Java/jdbc browser/sql editor products which are free or low cost and actually work. Your product is the best of these I've seen. Thank you for making it available!

   Mark Murphy

a big THANK YOU for providing this great tool !! Simply outstanding.
   Georg Schmid

I am writing to tell you I've just downloaded DbVisualizer and I think it's excellent. I have spent 4 hours today searching the net for JDBC based query/admin/metadata tools and I think your product is way ahead of anything I found. I like the interface and it actually works, first time and easily. Within 30 minutes I have it working with both MySQL and SQL Server databases on different machines.Thank you for making good quality java tools!
   Ben Hutchison

wish I had found this before I bought TOAD :-) As a Java developer, I don't have a huge need to edit stored procedures, but I do have a strong need to verify data written to the db, or to clean data already there. TOAD is overkill for my needs, but SQL*Plus is too spartan. DbVisualizer is _exactly_ the right tool for an n-tier application developer.
   Art Taylor

I just tried out your DBVisualizer tool and I must say it is amazingly simple and straight forward to use. Congratulations !
   Daniel Fischer

I'm using DBVisualizer a lot and I'm thrilled about it. I recommended to everybody I know.
   Ana-Maria Oleski

No, not requesting support, giving support ... Your DbVisualiser is fantastic, I am in Hong Kong, it's almost 1:30am and I was completely stuck with a Linux box in Singapore, a product demo tommorrow and a nightmare oracle configuration ... thanks to the dbvis I was able to solve my app problems across the web using VNC. I love it ... dbvis is fab
   Paul Gresham

great job!!! i ran dbvisualizer on macosx and that works great with mysql.
   Olivier Hericord

Amazing product, very helpful, thanks!
   Anthony Spina

It's a great product -- love it. I use Linux as my primary dev. platform and it's nice to have a tool which works the same for me as it does for my Win32 using friends. Good Job. The tool works just as I expect it to -- and that's the best compliment I can think of for it.
   Todd Gee

I have used but only with Oracle and I LOVE it. It is excellent and I have recommended it to several friends.
   Andrei Lenkei

Thank you for making such a fine product. After having tried several alternatives, I have decided to make DBVisualizer my default database viewer.
   Michael Olsen

Love the product. I'm running it on Mandrake Linux 6.1 and blackdown java version 1.1.7a connecting to Oracle on Solaris
   Anil Palat

BTW: Great product!!!!
   Rick Gibbs

I now have separate connections for all our databases. I enjoy using DbVis more and more every day
   Ronald Offerman

We loved DbVisualizer! It is very powerful and easy to use. We are runnig it under RedHat Linux 6.0 to access a DB2 database with NT
   Eduardo Issao Ito

I'll start by saying that I was very impressed with the product. I was searching Java resource sites for a Java 'MsQuery'-type tool and didn't expect to find something that looks as professional as DbVisualiser for free
   Gary Smith

We love it!! It's a great product, absolutely incredible contribution
   Tim O' Neil

Having said that, I must say DBVisualizer is a great product! Keep up the great work!
   Anthony Yuen

By the way, DBVisualizer works great with Hypersonic SQL (http://hsql.oron.ch/) as well as Informix.
   Lawrence J. Sylvain

This isn't really about a problem with DBVisualizer. I enjoy your product and I think it is one of the more user friendly and powerful DB tools out there.
   Ryan Breidenbach

many thanks ! AS/400 access semms to work and it looks very good now. It even looks better than the JDBC explorer in JBuilder.
   Michael Justin

I have been using dbVisualizer and I really appreciate your making this tool freely available. Thanks!
