In their own words
Database Workbench
Database Workbench is a desktop IDE for designing, implementing, documenting and maintaining databases. It lists support for Oracle, Firebird, SQL Server, InterBase, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB and NexusDB. Design tools include logical and physical diagrams, reverse engineering, visual object editors, migration and schema comparison. SQL Insight offers join completion in the SQL and code editors, alongside a drag-and-drop Visual Query Builder. Users can view and edit data, import and export it, transfer data between sources, compare data and work with BLOBs. The product also includes test data generation, query profiling, stored procedure debugging and custom reports through Report Manager. Professional adds ODBC and ADO connections and data pumping. Enterprise adds shared servers and databases, non-local workspaces, team to-do lists, shared code catalogs and built-in version control. It is described as a 64-bit Windows application that can run on Linux via Wine. Free Lite editions are listed for Firebird and MySQL, and a Trial Pro Edition is available. A SQLite module license is needed for full SQLite tools in Pro and Enterprise.
