Today I will quickly review one of the Apps from my personal Toolbox.
In this case I would like to talk about WinSQL Client.
WinSQL it's an ODBC based SQL Client which uses any ODBC installed on your machine to connect to the database. This feature makes it very flexible regarding to which database could connect to, since ODBC protocol it's very ANSI and very universal for all kind of databases. So if your DB Engine has an ODBC Driver you can connect to it.
This App has several editions, Trial, Lite, Developer and Professional.
We can download for free the Trial and if we register they will send us the Lite Edition registration number which is for free.

I actually started to use this one several years ago when I had one big problem, I had to manage to connect to SQL Server and Oracle while I was making work as a consultant. The problem was that not all companies has the proper tools installed in the PC that they let me use (and of course I didn't had administrative rights over them to install anything), so I had to come up with an App which were portable (no installation needed) and could connect to both SQL and Oracle, so I could run my scripts without issues.
This one was the best option available, and fortunetly we have the possibility to download an version without installer (Portable). This is very useful resource to add to your personal toolbox. I always kept this one in my pendrive which I carry everywhere I go (while working of course :P ).
Here is a couple of screens about the Tools. I'm currently using version 4 (it's quite old) but the current one you can download I think it's 8.
I hope this helps you in your work!
Regards!
MAX!
