Do you need third-party database management tools?

A database management system will have its own inbuilt tools for managing the database. However as the complexity of the database increases over time, with the data increasing exponentially, the users might need some sophisticated tools to perform different functions on the database.

As with the variety of databases in the market, the problems the developers and the administrators face are also varied. In some databases, synchronization of the remote database to the local database might be difficult with the inbuilt tool.

 

In such cases the administrators might need more than one client software to get the task done. Inserting data into the database might be complicated using the user interface in the database management system. Data and structure migration might also be a problem with the in-built tool in the DBMS.

 

With the tools available in the database it is not easy to analyze the queries that cause problem and thus increasing the response time of the application as a whole. These queries have to be isolated and tuned to get the application working at optimal speed acceptable by the users. For this we need a query analyzer tool that can also identify the slow running queries for analysis. Such tools might not be present in the database.

 

Hence there is a need for third-party database management tools that enables you to do the above tasks and more. SQL Studio Data Compare is a tool that is available for MS SQL Server which does a lot of work when you are comparing two databases. With this tool you can easily filter the rows using a where clause. The target database can be backed up before you use this tool on it. You can work on databases that are available on multiple locations.

 

This software tool has an easy to use user interface and the speed and performance is also good. With this tool you can compare all the tables with the differences being located easily with customized color coding.

SQL Block Monitor, NaviCat, and DTM SQL Editor are some of the tools third party database management tools available. For other databases and tools you can find links using a simple search on the internet.
