## Reviews

### "The right tool for the job." — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *23 June 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of creating and using data connections made it easy for us to get started using live data right away.
> 
> **Cons**: Saving queries as separate files aren't my favorite way to interact with the application.  I'd prefer to have an overall collection for a specific resource and have all the queries, reports, etc.  But, this isn't a real deal-breaker.
> 
> I found the project easier to get started with since I was already familiar with other SQL Query Tools.  This one seems the most comprehensive for my needs - queries, and export to various file types.

This tool is flawlessly integrated into the default IDE to bring additional features into the habitual environment. \n\nAmong the many advantages of dbForge Query Builder, it is worth mentioning the following features: \n\nVisual Query Construction. The Query Builder tool offers a convenient visual user interface for database developers. The visual mode makes it much easier to create even the most complicated queries without manual typing by simply dragging and dropping graphical blocks on a query diagram.\n\nComplex Query Building. The tool is suitable for constructing both basic and advanced queries. It supports nested sub-queries, derived tab tables, JOINs, and common table expressions. The graphical representations of objects are significantly easier to work with during the sophisticated query building. \n\nQuery Profiling. The tool’s functionality also covers query profiling. Users can analyze their SQL queries thoroughly and detect any failures or performance bottlenecks before execution. Thus, it guarantees appropriate query optimization and helps eliminate possible difficulties. \n\nSQL Code Generation. The Query Builder solution converts queries created visually into SQL code. Then, users can execute these scripts against the database as well as apply them in other tools and applications. \n\nQuery Editing. The tool includes a fully-functional SQL editor to modify the codes generated from the visual query diagram if necessary. With its help, developers can format the code according to their requirements, add comments, and customize the scripts. \n\nReverse Engineering. Besides building SQL scripts from scratch, the tool provides the reverse engineering feature. It allows the developers to analyze existing SQL queries, dive into their logic, and optimize them appropriately. \n\nQuery Execution. SQL Server developers can execute queries they created directly from the Query Builder window. It also provides an execution log with detailed information about the process, including the time taken for query execution, the number of result rows returned, and errors/warnings.\n\nTemplates and Snippets. The collection of ready snippets and query templates can serve as a starting point for developers. All predefined templates can be edited according to the users’ needs. It is also possible to add own snippets and templates and reuse past queries. \n\nPivot Tables. The Query Builder can transform rows into columns and vice versa in SQL queries. It ensures easier analyzing data in SQL queries in regards to patterns and trends. This way, users can create Pivot Tables dynamically, visualize them in the grid format, and filter, group, sort, and aggregate data. \n\nDbForge Query Builder for SQL Server is a powerful and flexible tool that enhances the productivity of developers and database administrators significantly. It is compatible with SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019, thus allowing all users to utilize the tool’s capacities when working with their preferred version of SQL Server.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/109ee0bd-a0d4-44f5-8186-f4d31bd5f91d.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2067813/dbforge-query-builder","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2067813/dbforge-query-builder#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":5.0,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":1},"offers":{"price":"129.95","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2067813/dbforge-query-builder#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Diagram Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/698/diagram/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"dbForge Query Builder","position":3,"item":"/software/2067813/dbforge-query-builder","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
