Project Description
Mini SQL Query is a minimalist SQL query tool for multiple databases (MSSQL, MSSQL CE, SQLite, OLEDB, MS Access/Excel files etc). The tool uses a generic schema engine taking advantage of the ADO.NET providers. Mini SQL Query is also easily extended with plugins.

Mini SQL Query is "deliberately minimalist". Software too often becomes bloated and less usable while trying to satisfy the 99% of what evrey user wants. Mini SQL Query aims to satisfy the most common tasks what the average user seeks to achieve, in doing so it keeps the size and complexity of the application to a minimum.

Some Core features:
  • Supports multiple databases (MSSQL, MS Access, SQLite, Oracle, OLEDB etc)
  • Integrated text templating system for generating SQL, code or data scripts
  • Syntax highlighting (with printing support)
  • Load and save SQL script files
  • Generic batch support (using the 'GO' keyword but for any DB including SQLite, MSAccess etc)
  • Quick View table data
  • Basic query generation
  • Extensible programming model

Note that the target audience for this tool is not developers who tend to only deal with MSSQL, it's geared towards having to hit several different database sources...

All,



I uploaded RC1 today: http://minisqlquery.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=33994






Lots of goodies including the new generic schema engine and text templating including access to the data.








One of the
regular questions I get is if there is a plug-in that will convert “database A”
to “database B”… answer… no – BUT – you can actually write a script connected
to database A that writes out the schema for database b. Then you would run the
generated SQL against database b. You could for example even create a db layout
using Excel (one table per sheet etc), connect to it with Mini SQL Query and
write a script that is a “create script” for the destination database. You can
also get the data out with the template tool.



 



What’s
Missing?



 


  • Schema wise
    the main thing missing is procedures/functions. Not all languages support them
    but it would be good to have for v1.
  • Another
    schema addition is foreign key information for other databases. This is not
    provided properly by the ADO.NET schema functions and so I manually provide it
    for the respective database driver.

I have finally got around to mapping through the Primary Key (for all DB’s) and Foreign Key info (for MSSQL and SQL Compact Edition)

MiniSqlQuery-SqlCe-ViewTable

MSSQL:

MiniSqlQuery-MsSql-DBInspector

And for SQL Compact Edition…

MiniSqlQuery-SqlCE-DBInspector

The tooltips have extra info too.

Go see http://www.pksoftware.net/MiniSqlQuery/Download.aspx the latest download…
