Integrations

Rapid SQL integrations

Rapid SQL connects natively to Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM Db2, SAP Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Greenplum, so developers can work across mixed database estates from one editor. It integrates with commercial version control systems for check-in, check-out, history tracking and change comparison of SQL scripts. Import wizards bring data into databases, and query result sets can be exported to Excel, CSV and XML for reporting or further analysis. Rapid SQL is also bundled in IDERA's DB PowerStudio Developer and DBA editions alongside other IDERA database tools. It runs on Windows desktops and Windows Server, and buyers choose an all-platforms or single-database edition.
