DBManager Pro
A company named DBTools Softwares offers a complete database management tool called DBManager that is compatible with various databases like Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access and MySql. This tool is a comprehensive package of features that a DBA can use to properly manage the database and can also help in efficient database development.

DBManager is designed to support multiple database engines. As applications are being built on different DBMS platforms, tools like DBManager have to help a DBA to have a single interface for various databases that he monitors or is in charge of. DBManager does that with perfection. The tool provides easy management of databases and their tables, procedures, triggers and functions. The interface has default database server connections made for SQLite and MS Access. A new database server connection can be easily made with the Server Manager.

Many a times it is required to import database from one DBMS to another. This requires the DBA to configure various import/export settings and then import the database in a particular format, which can be CSV or XML. DBManager makes the task of the DBA easy by providing DAO import of database from MS Access; also the database can be imported from an XML-based file. For this DBManager has easy to use wizards that allow users the freedom to create the database or to copy imported database tables into an existing database schema.
