Explore the database…
SQL*XL provides a simple way to browse through the tables and views in your database. The basic SQL statements are generated for you in the SQL editor.
Extract data from the database…
Data can be retrieved from the database and put straight into your Excel spreadsheet. Care is taken to format the data correctly so you can use the data in e.g. Excel calculcations and charts without problems. A one click table dump is provided but the main method for retrieving data is through SQL. Simply type the select statement and SQL*XL retrieves the data into Excel.
Data entry & data upload…
A full spreadsheet full of data can be inserted with a few simple mouse clicks. Simply prepare the data in your spreadsheet and use the insert multiple rows feature. Feedback is written next to your data rows to indicate whether the insert was successful or not.
Change data in the database…
Once data is retrieved into Excel, SQL*XL allows you to edit the data in the spreadsheet. When the changes are made, the data can be updated in the database with a few simple mouse clicks. Optionally SQL*XL will ask you to confirm each individual change.
