Excellent SQL Tool - Love it!
xianhopeJuly 11, 2013
Pros
Works with any ODBC data source. I have used it with ODBC sources on MS SQL Server, Sybase, Cache, text and MS Access. It is great having a SINGLE tool that lets me work with all these different databases. The interface is simple and clean and yet full featured. I've found it to be stable and reliable. Fast and easy to install. Ming has frequent updates to improve the product.
Cons
This would be everything I want if it could show the query plan for the query besides just a syntax check before running it. Minor gripe - need to manually uninstall the prior version before installing a new version.
Summary
This is a GREAT SQL editor! Especially if you are working in an environment with multiple database platforms. It is a tool for SQL writers - no drag and drop (which is great for me). The database explorer tool is excellent. The whole app is fast and stable. I have been using it for several years now and love it. Responding to the negative feedback about spyware: I don't know what he is talking about. I have had no issues in all the years I have been using the product. I don't believe Universal SQL Editor is delivering the spyware.
How does spyware like this crap keep getting on CNET

Pros
Crap and doesn't even allow you to edit without a purchase.
Cons
Installs spyware and search bars to you computer even when you tell it not to. It is quite obvious that the douchebag who wrote the positive review was the one profiting from the BS. Remove this crap damn it
Summary
Effectively a big pile of Shyte
Great SQL Editor

Pros
Slick interface, helpful features such as autocomplete for object names.
Cons
None I've seen so far.
Summary
I've been using this application for a couple years now, and it's been a real time-saver for me. The interface is very clean. The database explorer is great for browsing database objects. The SQL Editor is great. I've tried a number of SQL tools over the years, and this is one has the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
