<h3>
Mini SQL Query
</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>
"<b>Mini SQL Query</b> from by Paul Kohler is a minimalist SQL query tool for multiple providers (MSSQL, Oracle, OLEDB,
MS Access, SQLite etc). The goal of the Mini SQL Query tool is to allow a developer or trouble-shooter to quickly diagnose issues or make changes to a database using a tool with a small footprint, is portable, fast, flexible and easy to use."
</p>

</h4>

see <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/paulkohler/minisqlquery">https://github.com/paulkohler/minisqlquery</a>
</p>
<p>
<b>Mini SQL Query</b> is "deliberately minimalist". Software too often becomes bloated and less usable while trying to satisfy
the 99% of what every user wants. <b>Mini SQL Query </b>aims to satisfy the most common tasks what the average user seeks
to achieve, in doing so it keeps the size and complexity of the application to a minimum.
</p>
<p>
The application was developed almost entirely using Microsoft's Visual Studio C# Express IDE.
</p>
<p>
Some Core features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Supports multiple databases (MSSQL, MSSQL CE, MS Access, SQLite, Oracle, OLEDB etc)</li>
<li>Integrated text templating system for generating SQL, code or data scripts</li>
<li>Syntax highlighting (with printing support)</li>
<li>Load and save SQL script files</li>
<li>Generic batch support (using the 'GO' keyword but for any DB including SQLite, MSAccess etc)</li>
<li>Quick View table data</li>
<li>Basic query generation</li>
<li>Extensible programming model</li>
</ul>
