MySQL MaxDB is a relational database system with an SQL-compatible user interface.
"Relational" means that the database system provides its users with all its information in the form of tables. The standard language SQL (Structured Query Language) provides a set of statements that you can use to administer, maintain, and analyze these tables.
SQL Studio provides easy access to the data held in a MaxDB database instance. As well as its use as a query definition tool, SQL Studio is a comfortable tool, both for application programmers who want to test SQL statements, and also for database designers who can benefit from the graphical support it provides for the creation and modification of database objects.
You can use SQL Studio for the following tasks:
· Creating and managing database tables, indexes, and sequences, and managing stored SQL statements, database users, and database procedures with the Catalog Manager
· Creating and executing SQL statements in the SQL Dialog
· Selecting and editing data records in a screen display with the Form Dialog
· Formulating database queries with the help of visual tools in the Visual Query Dialog
The SQL Studio as it is described here can be used on Microsoft Windows operating systems only. For other operating system platforms you can use the Web SQL Studio.
