SQL Converter

Microsoft SQL servers are among the most popular databases in use today and several tools have been devised to assist users in obtaining improved results when working with such items. SQL Converter is one such utility, allowing one to extract information from source servers selectively and save it to a variety of formats.

A notable feature is the program's ability to extract only selected tables from source SQL servers and an intuitive “Explorer” tab allows one to browse the contents of the database. This is a great setup, as it permits users not only to extract data, but also to view information.

Also, the tabular display can be used to identify source data quickly, although a 'find' feature would have been a nice feature - more-so when dealing with large items. What's more, one can also edit source entries, thus effectively adjusting information before it is transferred.

The program allows one to access and query multiple databases, although not at the same time, and, once connected, users can select which tables to be processed. A notable feature is the ability to execute custom SQL commands, without having to exit the application.

A “Result” box will display the outcome from executing commands, a setup ensuring one does not migrate the wrong data. Once satisfied with the transfer parameters, users can export information to more common formats, including HTMLs, DOCs, XMLs or XLS documents.

Summing up, SQL Converter is a very practical app for anyone who regularly works with SQL servers and lacks adequate exporting tools. The lightweight program can be employed to extract data selectively from source items and can generate HTML, DOC, XML and XLS files.
