Database development is a hard task. It becomes harder when you have to develop for multiple database engines: different tools, migrating structures, knowing the differences, testing your application with data. You need all the help you can get.
Developing database applications in todays fast changing world demands a lot from your developers. More often than not, multiple database systems need to be supported and developers have to know multiple tools. Datatypes have different names and metadata statements differ in syntax.
Database Workbench offers the same consistent user interface including the same tools for all supported database systems as well as supporting migration tools to map one database structure to another system without the need to know specific syntax. This saves time and money and increased productivity amongst developers.
Benefits that make Database Workbench the right tool for database design and development include:
Don't switch between different vendor tools to develop for multiple database systems, use one consistent graphical interface for all the different systems you support. Having a single development environment saves time and money.
Design and develop from a single conceptual data model to the different physical models, reverse engineer existing databases to print graphical overviews.
- Use graphical editors to create, modify and browse schema objects
- Use Object Templates and Code Templates for consistency and faster development
- SQL Insight to finish SQL statements
- Drag-and-drop and context sensitive menus avoids having to manually enter long SQL statements
- SQL and Code Catalogs to quickly save snippets
- Quickly copy SQL statements between popular programming languages and automatically escape quotes etc
- Add objects to your "workspace" and group them together
After developing, use the built-in Test Data Generator to generate sample data or use the Import Tools to import data into your database. The Stored Procedure and Trigger Debugger allows you to test your stored code.
Use the Schema Compare and Migration Tools to compare testing and deployed databases, migrate existing databases to different database systems.
- Create diagrams and export or print them
- Print schema reports with tables, procedures and more
Database Workbench is developed to support different database engines on a per module basis and is licensed per module, you need the "base" module and you can add additional modules to support different database engines.

Database Workbench is available in two editions:
- Database Workbench Lite: the FREE edition of Database Workbench that supports a single database system (currently InterBase, Firebird or MySQL) and a basic set of features.
- Database Workbench Pro: the complete edition of Database Workbench that has all features and can support multiple database systems.
For a detailed look at the differences between these editions, see the feature matrix.
