Dear friends,
I have been told that this is the right place to point you to a new
software tool. It's a visual application I have been working on.

I believe, it can be useful when you wish to create queries by a quick
visual query builder or need to represent data, make reports or charts
and when you need to export or move data (dump, etc.).

Some functionalities include:

- Visual Query builder
- Easy ETL and Data transfer from any DBMS to any DBMS
- Universal Reporting / Charting from any DBMS
- Data Integration for federate DBMSes
- Database explorer, data dump
- Excel, Text export from any DBMS
- Excel multiple sheet merger or joiner

Here are the links:

In case anyone uses it and comes up with suggestions, they would be
clearly welcome. In fact, as you will see, this program has the
ambitious aspiration to be able to integrate across several DBMSes at
the same time, allowing easy data exchange. But clearly this means
that is quite complicate to foresee all what can happen and achieve
the necessary flexibility ...

I have also created a group here, for questions, help or discussions:

Thank you all ... and welcome to DataTime!
