Product Description:
SQL Workshop is a powerful database development tool for querying, creating, and maintaining
database objects. It is the ONLY TOOL AVAILABLE that delivers a fully integrated stored procedure
development environment for SYBASE and Microsoft SQL Server databases INCLUDING A WINDOWS
BASED STORED PROCEDURE DE{*filter*}.
SQL Workshop is the perfect supplement when using Powersofts Powerbuilder, Microsoft Visual
Basic, or any other GUI based development tool. By automating many of the tasks you perform to
develop and maintain database objects, SQL Workshop increases your productivity and reduces your
development time.
SQL Workshop works with any ODBC compliant database making it the only tool you'll need to
manage all of the data and databases in your enterprise. In addition to adhoc query
facilities and database management tools, SQL Workshop enables you to:
Debug stored procedures within the Windows environment
SQL Workshop is the only product that lets you debug stored procedures within the MS
Windows environment ! Place break points within a procedure, select the variables you
would like to "watch", then run the procedure. SQL Workshop stops at the breakpoints
within the procedure and displays the values of your chosen "watch" variables. SQL
Workshop also allows you to "trace breakpoints" which enables you to run a procedure
from start to finish and still view the values of the "watch" variables.
In addition to displaying "watch" variables, SQL Workshop also displays timing
information at each break point which enables you to quickly locate performance
problems within your procedures.
Reverse engineer database objects
SQL Workshop can easily create and reverse engineer database objects. SQL Workshop can
recreate all database objects including tables, indexes, procedures, triggers, views, etc.
Simply select the object you want to work with and SQL Workshop retrieves the SQL text of
the object. You can then change and reload the object back into the database.
Run Bulk Copy within the Windows environment
SQL Workshop enables you to run the SQL Server Bulk Copy Program (BCP) from within the
Windows environment. You can also copy data from one server to another without having
to switch connections between servers. No more hassles exiting Windows to the DOS
prompt and formatting the BCP command line. Simply select a table to export/import
data from/to, choose your delimiters, and click RUN. That's all there is to it.
Compare and update data between two tables
SQL Workshop is the only database tool that can compare and transfer data between
tables. The tables can even exist on different servers and be from different database
types (i.e. Oracle and Sybase). SQL Workshop compares the data between the tables and
updates the destination table based on the options you choose. This invaluable in
keeping tables in different environments in-sync with one another.
Export table data into text delimited files
SQL Workshop is the only database tool that let's you store the results of any SQL
statement (including execution of stored procedures) in text delimited files. This
enables you to easily change or merge table layouts without losing the data within the
tables. Simply extract the data using a SQL SELECT query, change the table layout(s),
and load the extracted data back into the new table.
Automatically generate stored procedure SQL scripts
SQL Workshop will generate Insert, Update, Delete and Select Stored Procedure code for
you. Simply select a table, choose the input parameters, and SQL Workshop does the
rest. You can review the code, change it, save it to a file and/or execute it to
create new procedures.
Search database objects for specific text
SQL Workshop provides a facility to search for text in SQL Server database objects.
For example, you can search through all objects that reference the VIEW named MY_VIEW.
You can search one or more databases. Even search the entire server !
Reference SQL Syntax using an on-line help facility
SQL Workshop provides an on-line help facility for SQL syntax. You can view and paste
the syntax into query windows. Then customize the syntax to your needs. This
eliminates the need to remember complex SQL syntax.
