Visual Query Tool 2.1

Visual Query Tool is a powerful, high-flexibility, end-user friendly universal program for database querying, processing and maintenance - based on structured parameterized SQL command collections.

It is compatible with all ODBC compliant databases. Distant or local data? No matter...

The primary target of this application is to offer a compelling, easy-to-use graphical interface for data processing and query automation purposes.

For the end-user the implementation details of SQL command sets are totally hidden. The users view on data is reduced to a designer-customized dashboard, having a highly structured GUI interface.

VQT can be used as a stand-alone tool too, for database querying and reporting with multiple displaying and optionally automated exporting possibilities: form and browse view, html-based printable report, business graphic, dbf and text file, xml data-file - suitable for example for data-island technology.

The interrogative commands are suitable for selective data visualization and reporting purposes. With little effort the designer can build very sophisticated parameterized queries to fetch the right data. The parameter pages, attached at the second level to command collections, uses the users namespace and dictionary. The semantic of displayed controls are seamless interpreted by the user.

It is possible to hide some complex data maintenance or manipulation behind processing commands. The user by the specialized parameter pages enters the suitable data, and after a click a whole SQL task chain can be executed.

Obviously the processing and interrogative task can be adequately combined in the same command, building in this way very complex, productive commands.

Visual Query Tool is not intended for heavy data loading or extracting. It is a smart interface between the end user and the data store, offering an intuitive graphical surface to collect and organize some SQL queries and statements parameterized at extreme - assuring in this way the safe access of user to a weak tool.

It is not a simple data layout and structure converter nor a simple table editor or ordinary table printer. There are a lot of other applications that do these jobs better. The magic power of Visual query Tool relays in a single commonly used word: parameter. And in four words it is build over structured parameterized SQL command collections.
