Another highly sought-after feature is query visualization, which greatly simplifies creating SQL queries, regardless of their complexity. Instead of manually typing out your queries, you can construct them using ready blocks and connect them with links to establish relationships. Furthermore, this feature enables you to edit JOINs and WHERE conditions visually, enhancing your query-building experience.
Query Profiling
The integrated Query Profiler offers a visual execution plan for any query, enabling you to thoroughly analyze it, identify performance bottlenecks, and optimize it for improved speed and efficiency. Notably, the query profiling results comparison empowers you to explore different optimization options and choose the most suitable streamlining methods before applying them to your specific query.
Database Design & Development
When starting a new database project from scratch or revamping an existing one, visualization becomes invaluable. dbForge Edge offers entity-relationship diagrams that depict database structures and relationships. This visual representation simplifies working with databases, allowing you to seamlessly employ reverse and forward engineering. This means you can transform a diagram into an actual database or convert the database into a diagram, making modifications more straightforward.
The integrated Table Designer empowers you to create various database tables in a visual format, complete with all necessary columns, constraints, storage properties, and other relevant conditions. Additionally, Table Designer provides the option to directly edit table data. This feature also ensures the security of your data during schema modification processes.
When making changes to your databases, updating the accompanying documentation is essential but often labor-intensive. dbForge Edge’s built-in Documenter automates this process by scanning your database and generating comprehensive documentation in HTML, PDF, and Markdown formats, complete with user-friendly navigation.
One of the most highly requested features for collaborative work is Source Control, currently exclusive to dbForge Studio for SQL Server. With this feature, you can effortlessly connect your database to a version control system (compatible with all popular systems). This integration allows you to commit changes, roll them back, and resolve conflicts directly within the IDE.
