Excellent query tool for analysts without a budget.
beebo76August 12, 2009
Pros
Simplicity in design, and ease of connectivity. The commmand line arguement is great for creating batch files. Works super with windows scheduler if you need to run recurring tasks. Very friendly customer service, and willing to answer any question.
Cons
Current release tends to add to existing files if you have to run them on a regular basis instead of writing over the previous data. But, hey, it's free!
Summary
Very happy to have found this tool. I use it daily since we don't have a tech budget for such, and the previous manager was using MS Query to pull down data.
Fast and Cheap

Pros
Quick install and got going right away using ODBC connections
Cons
Almost no added features. If you just want to SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE then this is for you. Otherwise you will need to go with something else and probably pay for it.
Summary
Completely Useless.

Pros
It's Free.
Cons
First the application lacks a useful help system. After struggling with this program for weeks. I found a serious bug. It distorts the data when the record contains special characters. I notified the company of the bug and then tried their $300 product, which fortunately doesn't contain the same bug, but unfortunately doesn't offer the features of the free version. What a waste! ODBCView's interface is rough at best. I'd pass on this version and hope the software developers read this review and fix this mess.
Summary
Very nice and simple

Pros
This is a very nice simple SQL query tool. The best part is you can script it at the command line so I can make batch files to call it, run a query, and dump the results to a CSV file. VERY COOL.

Good alternative to WinSQL. Works with DB2 UDB. Doesn't allow you to comment out SQL lines with "--". Can't copy result into clipboard (but query can be copied/pasted).
Nice, tight near-free alternative to SQL Enterprise Mgr
