Linqer

Linqer is a software application which can be used in order to compare SQL and LINQ files, as well as run them, and convert the first type of database to the other.

This tool is portable, which means you do not have to install it on your machine. In fact, you can copy the program files to any location on the HDD and simply double-click the EXE in order to run it. Moreover, by placing the last mentioned files to an external data device (e.g. pen drive), you can use Linqer on any PC you can connect to.

Another important aspect is that the Windows registry is not going to suffer any changes, and nor will the Start menu/screen.

The UI you are met with boats quite a plain and simple design, as it is comprised of a menu bar, and a few panes to display opened SQL and LINQ files, as well as messages and others. As a consequence the interface is accessible to all user categories.

It is possible to open multiple tabs thus enabling multi-tasking. Databases are opened in two side-by-side panels, so that you can visually compare them and convert SQLs to LINQs with just one click. It is important to understand that not all statements will be converted.

This software utility enables you to run both types of files, as well as view query results, data context, classes and messages, compile an uploaded LINQ and copy it to the Clipboard.

In conclusion, Linqer is a simple, yet useful piece of software, with a good response time and an intuitive environment. It does not put a strain on your computer’s performance and we did not detect any errors or crashes.
