DatabaseSpy Multi-database Management, Query, and Design

DatabaseSpy is a multi-database query and design tool that eases SQL editing and database structure design for a fraction of the cost of single-database solutions. DatabaseSpy includes the following features for working with relational databases:

  • Connects to all major databases
  • Allows simultaneous connections to multiple databases of different types
  • Facilitates SQL query writing with capabilities like code completion, syntax coloring, drag and drop construction, and more
  • Presents database tables, views, and data in easily navigable windows
  • Enables graphical design and visualization of database tables
  • Supports comparing and merging database differences
  • Supports database schema comparison and merging
  • Supports database structure conversion
  • Includes advanced support for viewing XML Schemas registered in IBM DB2 9 and SQL Server databases
  • Supports adding new columns containing XML data to IBM DB2 9 and SQL Server databases, with detailed access to XML datatypes

DatabaseSpy project files let you organize database connections and related files. You can create a DatabaseSpy project to collect SQL files for a set of reports you need to run on a periodic basis. Or you might save design files in a project as you plan new tables or other changes to an existing database.

When you save the files you need for any set of tasks in a project, you can reopen the project file later to restore quick access right where you left off.

XMLSpy Database Integration

Relational Database and XML Integration

Since many XML-based applications require bi-directional interaction with relational databases, converting back and forth between database and XML data structures is a common requirement. XMLSpy includes full support for working with relational databases and XML. Using XMLSpy, you can connect to and query a database or import or export data. You can generate an XML Schema based on a database structure, or, conversely, generate a database schema based on an XML Schema. The XMLSpy Convert Menu makes this process easy and seamless.

Native XML Database Integration

In addition to supporting relational database integration, XMLSpy allows you to work with native XML databases with built-in support for IBM DB2 9 pureXML and Oracle's XML DBs, and SQL Server.

Support for Third-party XML Schema Extensions

The XMLSpy XML Schema Editor supports third-party database extensions for IBM DB2 9 pureXML, Oracle XML DBs and SQL Server.

MapForce Database Integration

Altova MapForce provides unprecedented power and flexibility for integrating database data with other common formats – whether you’re performing a one-time conversion or implementing an automated data transformation in your own application.

MapForce supports relational databases, XML, flat files, EDI, Excel 2007 (OOXML), XBRL, and Web services as the source and target of any data mapping. Using MapForce, data mappings are designed visually, which means you don’t have to understand the underlying complexity of each data type. You simply insert your data models and map between them by dragging connecting lines and data processing functions between corresponding elements. Then, the MapForce Engine executes the transformation, which you can view and save. MapForce also autogenerates Java, C++, or C# applications to implement the data conversion programmatically.

StyleVision Database Integration

Intended as a tool for storing, searching for, and retrieving information, relational databases usually do not provide features for presenting the data stored therein in a meaningful, eye-catching manner. Database reporting applications have been developed to meet this need, but they are often expensive and optimized solely for one type of database or one output format, such as HTML. To meet the communication requirements of various departments, partners, and customers, however, users are often required to present database reports in multiple formats, and converting reports to other media can be costly and time consuming.

Altova StyleVision is a powerful database reporting tool that allows you to design stylesheets based on a database (or XML/XBRL data sources) quickly and easily to generate report output to HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007 (OOXML) – all from a single design. To design a database report in StyleVision, you simply connect to the required tables in your database and design your database report using drag-and-drop functionality and rich formatting options. Based on your design, StyleVision automatically creates stylesheets to output your report in HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007 (OOXML) – you get four eye-catching reports from one easy-to-create design! read more below.

Authentic Database Content Editing

In addition to the output formats listed above, StyleVision also generates an Authentic electronic form based on your design. The Authentic e-Form provides a word processor-style interface for non-technical users to edit databases.
