Background

Here I am having used SQL Server Management Studio ( SSMS ) for so long, I am satisfied.

It’s GUI is versely superior to SQL 2000 Query Analyzer and it exposes just about every SQL Functionality that I use on daily basis.

 

Stumped

Spent hours trying to capture a query’s grid display unto Excel, but Excel column size was getting in the way.

And, so googled for ways to display columns as rows.

 

DBeaver

Googled and found DBeaver.

The nice thing about it is that I can export queries result set into XML or HTML.

 

Download

DBeaver is available here.
