- Database Schema Editor. Supports both reverse and forward engineering. Generate diagrams automatically from existing databases. Add new elements visually and generate scripts to modify your database.
- Visual SQL Query Builder. Work directly with tables and links that are a part of the query you want to create, then immediately execute them, save them or copy-paste.
- Enhanced Data Transfer. More than simply importing data, copy records between two different databases. Specify mapping of source/target tables and fields and load records from db1 to db2.
- SQL DIFF. View all of the differences between tables. Compare schemas of two databases and produce SQL scripts that can transform the first schema into the second. Apply changes directly to the first database.
