Database Tour Description

Database Tour is a useful report builder which allows you to manage and organize all your connected databases.Database Tour is very useful cross-database software. The program works with data through the Borland Database Engine (BDE) or Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). This allows using the program as a cross-database tool. So, to use Database Tour you need to install BDE 5.0 or above or ADO 2.1 or above.Database Tour is a convenient and powerful database program, which includes different db utilities and tools like SQL tool, reporting tool, data converting, exporting, importing utilities and much more.Database Tour was developed mainly for professionals. But unexperienced users sometimes can use it also (e.g., for report printing, table editing and so on).Main program purposes: accessing databases; convenience in viewing and editing data; automation of the most often used database operations; printing data in the most convenient view.Database Tour works with databases via ADO or BDE and was tested on the following database types: · dBase / FoxPro (*.dbf). Access via BDE or ADO (using ODBC or ISAM drivers).· Paradox (*.db). Access via BDE or ADO (using ODBC or ISAM drivers).· Text (*.txt). Access via BDE (text tables with schema files *.sch) or ADO (using ODBC or ISAM drivers).· Comma separated values (*.csv). Access via ADO (using text ODBC driver) or BDE (for export purposes only).· Lotus (*.wk1, *.wj2). Access via ADO (using ISAM driver).· HTML (*.htm, *.html). Access via ADO (using ISAM driver).· XML (*.xml). Access via BDE (for export purposes only) or ADO (for import / export operations only).· Interbase (*.gdb). Access via BDE (using direct file link for local databases or BDE aliases for remote databases) or ADO (using ODBC driver with direct file link for local databases or ODBC DSN for remote databases).· Microsoft Access (*.mdb, *.accdb). Access via ADO (using ODBC driver or Jet/ACE engine) or BDE (using DSN-based BDE alias or native driver (only Access 95-97)).· Microsoft Excel (*.xls, *.xlsx). Access via BDE (using DSN-based BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC driver or Jet/ACE engine).· Microsoft Visual FoxPro (*.dbc). Access via BDE (using DSN-based BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC drivers).· Oracle. Access via BDE (using BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC DSN).· SQL Server. Access via BDE (using BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC DSN).· PostgreSQL. Access via BDE (using DSN-based BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC DSN).· MySQL. Access via BDE (using DSN-based BDE alias) or ADO (using ODBC DSN).Theoretically, Database Tour can work with some other formats (depending on database engine (ADO or BDE) installed).
