New in DatabaseSpy 2010

Released at the end of October 2009, the 2010 release is a major upgrade:

Visual database schema comparison

Compare the database schema of one database with another - even across different database platforms (e.g. a SQL database and an Oracle database). Identically named components will automatically map between the two databases.

Database structure conversion

Speed up conversion of tables from one database platforms to another. Drag a table from the old server onto the new server in the design window and the SQL statements that will perform the table creation will be created automatically - even handling the different data types between database servers.

Calculate information

Select any range of cells within the results window after performing a SQL query and perform a range of calculation options, including: count, total, average, sum, min and max.
