Visual Query Builder

Question

If been using "dbForge Query Builder" lately and I'm gotten used to the ease of building and testing a query, specially for those complex ones with inner joins, aliases and multiple conditionals.

The expiry date of the trial is about to come, and while wanting to remain on the legal side for this I'd rather not pay the 50USD it costs (although I must say it's pretty cheap for what it does).

So my question would be: Are there any free alternatives to replace this visual query builder? I've failed to find any and fear that my only two options are paying for it, or going to the dark side.

Answer 1

Think of it in terms of how much money/time it will help you make/save in the long run. Consider it a business expense. Yes, there are other free query builders out there, but they all take time to learn/get used to. If your happy with this one I'd say go for it.

That aside there generally are several ways you can reinstall the program and get one more month out of your free-trial if your still not quite sure its worth it.

Answer 2

You may try FlySpeed SQL Query. It has the same powerful visual query builder and it's free if you don't need data export and printing.
