dbPortal is a Windows SQL client that utilises JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) to access relational databases. It is a very useful analytical tool for making sense of your relational data. There are many very useful and time saving features that will make your life easier. dbPortal is the ideal tool for quick and easy access to your data.
It has a relatively small footprint for the functionality it provides and installing it is quick and easy. And because it uses JDBC, you can access any database that provides a compliant driver.
