This is a list of tools that can browse the results of queries. There is a specific product called "Query Browser", but in this context it's a generic term, unless specified otherwise. A query browser will generally allow issuing and saving SQL (or other query languages), and allows the browsing of results via a
TableBrowser and exporting such as CSV. They often connect via ODBC or JDBC. Fancier versions have parameter insertion, schema browsers,
QueryByExample, data entry, local post-processing (such as local aggregation), and vendor-specific enhancements.
RDBMS-Specific Browsers
- ToadTool - Primarily for Oracle, but they are expending into other RDBMS vendors.
- "Expending into other RDBMS vendors...?" Is that a Freudian slap?
- Knowing Oracle's MO, it may become a prophecy.
- Many RDBMS vendors supply such a tool specific to their product. These include:
Multi-RDBMS Browsers
- Forest & Trees - A rather old tool that has a kind of cult following because of the way one can make "work spaces" and forms.
- MicrosoftAccess - It has limited ability to connect to other RDBMS. Not always friendly when used with non-MS RDBMS.
- OpenOfficeBase
- More to come...
Non-RDBMS Browsers
