SQL Edge is a universal SQL query tool that allows users to execute SQL queries, browse schema information in ER diagrams, and visualize data relationships. With SQL Edge, users can use only one query to retrieve data in a master table, and then browse data in all related detail tables. Users can also insert, edit, and delete table records in the data grids.
SQL Edge has six perspectives. The "Query Perspective" allows users run any SQL queries and scripts. It supports Oracle PL/SQL, PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL, DB2, MySQL, SQL Anywhere Watcom SQL and Transact-SQL scripts. The "Schema Perspective" displays database schema information.
The "Relationship Table View" displays data in the master-detail style. The "Relationship Tree View" displays master table records as top-level tree nodes. The nodes can be expanded to reveal any level of related detail records. In addition, clicking any node will display the corresponding data in a detail grid.
The "Model Perspective" displays tables and their relationships in ER diagrams.
It supports auto-layout, outline view, rulers, grid, and multi-page print preview.
The "Execution Plan Perspective" displays the execution plan of a query. It supports Oracle and PostgreSQL execution plans.
The version 3.0 made major enhancements to the Model Perspective to support multi-page ER diagrams and customization:
- Model Perspective now supports auto-layout and multi-page print preview.
- Added page breaks and outline view to help users to layout multi-page ER diagrams.
- Added rulers, grid and alignment menu to help align diagram objects.
- Allow users to add notes and texts to a diagram and customize fonts and colors of diagram objects.
- Added wizard support to insert multiple tables to a diagram at once.
- Support sharing saved diagram files between different SQL Edge instances.
The following are the version 2.3 features:
- Support Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, and any JDBC compatible databases.
- Support Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.
- Provide wizards to help setup JDBC connections. Easy to install, and easy to setup.
- SQL editor executes SQL queries asynchronously. Users can cancel the execution by click the "Cancel" button or simply close the editor.
- Supports Oracle PL/SQL, PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL, DB2, Sybase, MySQL and Transact-SQL scripts.
- Supports editable query result window. The data grid of the query result window is editable if all selected columns are from one table and also include the primary key of the table.
- Schema perspective displays the table schema information, including column definitions, primary key, indexes, and foreign keys. It also displays the script information of views, sequences, stored procedures, triggers and packages for Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Sybase and MySQL databases based on whether the database supports these objects.
- Relationship table view displays the related data in the master-detail style.
- Relationship tree view displays master table records as top-level tree nodes. The nodes can be expanded to reveal any level of related detail records.
- Allow users to insert, edit, and delete records in the data grids of the relationship views.
- Allow users to define master-detail relationships even between tables in different databases. This enables the relationship views to display data relationships between tables in different databases or without pre-defined foreign keys.
- Model perspective displays tables and their relationships in ER diagrams.
- Execution plan perspective displays the execution plan of a query. It supports Oracle and PostgreSQL execution plans.
