Introduction

Databrid is a Database tool for Oracle and/or MySql databases that is suited to all levels of users. Databrids core functionality is based around a main set of tabs that allow access to the following areas: SQL Editor, Database Browser, File Processing, Active/Inactive Jobs and Help. The application (apart from the help) supports English, Spanish, French and German.

The SQL Editor tab allows you to write and run SQL and/or PLSQL (for Oracle). This tab provides the ability to use one of more syntax highlighting editors with code autocompletion, automatic case adjustment of keywords, word highlighting, sql formatting etc. Each editor includes an area for displaying query results and/or Oracle DBMS_Output output. Each editor can belong to its own database connection and to the same or different databases (MySql or Oracle).

Database Browser

The Database Browser tab allows the you to browse through the objects in one or more database schemas or catalogs. You are ables view information on tables, views, sequences etc that are relevant to your database connection. Database objects and/or data can also be manipulated from this tab. For Oracle databases Databrid will produce relevant SQL and/or PLSQL code for generating the selected object.

File Processing
