The built-in SQL Query Tool allows you to run queries and view or manage their results. Worth mentioning are the app's auto-completion, syntax coloring and persisted query history tools.

Working with database tables is made easy by DB Solo's Table/Index Creator that allows you to create new items thanks to a wizard-like interface.

For your convenience and to help you improve your workflow, the tool also enables you to save your most used queries, database objects and tables, so they are always within easy reach in a Favorites list.

One thing to remember is the fact that everything you do with DB Solo can be saved and exported to formats like CSV and HTML with just a few mouse clicks.
