Database Structure and Data Analyzer
Database Analyzer is the software you need to:
DB Analyzer is a tool that helps you analyze database servers, database structures and data. Following analysis can be performed:
DB Analyzer is designed to help IT personnel understand how and what data is stored inside the database. It gives a huge jump-start during data analysis, data mapping, conversion, system development, optimization, troubleshooting and during any task where good understanding of the database and respective data is required.
Try Database Analyzer today – download the trial version and analyze as many databases as you want. The only limitation is that it will include only first 5 tables in reports. Once you get the licensed version, you can produce complete reports using the same analysis you had done previously in the trial version (unless there are changes in the database).
DB Analyzer runs analysis on database structures and data. That means this software is distinguished from CASE tools such as Erwin and Power Designer which you can use to analyze database structures, but not data. Moreover, while CASE tools are primarily used by system architects and developers, DB Analyzer is an excellent tool for both Business/System Analysts and architects and developers.
Example:
“A business analyst might be inquiring what data is stored in certain tables and columns – what is really stored in field BOND_DESC? A developer might be interested in format of data – does the phone number have spaces, dashes, brackets? A database administrator needs to know the number of records in database tables so they can do the proper database sizing. A data architect is interested in data duplication so they can determine the degree of model normalization, space utilization – why files declared as CHAR(100) have only ‘Y’ and ‘N’ values, etc. Quality assurance (QA) analysts can check the quality of test bed database and ensure data is diversified enough and appropriate for user acceptance testing. A system architect might be interested in available database features.”
All this information can be obtained with the help of SQL commands. However, that way requires certain skills, otherwise it becomes tedious and prone to errors. DB Analyzer provides a consolidated and convenient way to exploit this information at your whim.
