idxScout

Find Foreign Keys. Effortless Data Models. SQL Made Simple.

Attention Developers, Crystal Report Professionals and Data Analysts: The mystery hiding inside your database has just been solved. idxScout investigates keys, indexes and design problems with automatic data modeling. Download it at www.idxSoft.com. Point it to your SQL Server, Access, MySQL, Oracle or DBF database. Run Key Hunter and see the structure. Use the results as a model. Press a key or scroll to see data instantly. Find design problems. Check a box and build an SQL Select. Write SQL joins mistake-proof.

Modern databases may contain hundreds of tables each with ten or more fields, meaning you are expected to know thousands of little pieces. Remembering everything is quite a difficult task. Without design specs you may never fully grasp its complexity.

idxScout features a Key Hunter. It probes the database and finds foreign keys. These keys are presented in an easy to understand list; not a confusing bunch of boxes and lines. Primary keys and indexes are color coded. You'll see flaws, missing indexes, duplicated data and structural defects immediately. Tweak the results and you'll have a data model in hours; not days. No large budget needed. Do a hunt on all fields; you'll be surprised what idxScout finds.

Use SQL Workshop and write select statements fast. Just check and choose the tables and fields you want to query. It's so easy it will amaze you. You'll never use Select * again. Press CTL-S to view the data, select it if you want it, press preview and check it off your to-do list.

Let your machine help you build SQL joins. No need to guess anymore. idxScout has the intelligence to predict query joins for you; it's based on the model. If the join is complex, pick it from the list of relationships. Move the order around with a click. You'll get joins that are never nested, never confusing, and easily understood.

Use SQL Server, Access, MySQL, Oracle and DBF more.
