DatabaseSpy is a multi-database query, design, and database comparison tool from Altova, the creator of XMLSpy. DatabaseSpy connects to many major relational databases, facilitating SQL querying, database structure design, database content editing, and database comparison and conversion.

DatabaseSpy is a database client application for Windows 7, 8, and 10, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 and 2008 that allows database administrators, database developers, and other database-oriented IT professionals to interact with multiple relational databases that may have been created by different developers.

DatabaseSpy features include a quick connection wizard for multiple relational databases, SQL editor with auto-completion, graphical database design tool, database content and schema comparison, and data import and export in multiple formats. DatabaseSpy also includes special support for XML in databases and is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.[1]

User comments

From its initial release in September 2006, users have recognized the benefits of using a single tool with a consistent user interface to multiple databases to perform routine tasks such as querying or modifying tables.[2][3][4]

The use of a common graphical interface to connect to multiple databases, possibly across different platforms, is cited as a valuable feature.[5]
