XTG AQueryx is cross-platform and cross-backend interactive query tool. The users of it are mostly
database developers and administrators who need to quickly hand-code many SQL queries, modify
database structure and query table data.

Features
- Different backends - single frontend
AQueryx can connect to several backends using Simple DB drivers. The developers often face the problem
they have to work with several backends which have different query tools which behave differently, do not
provide the same features and so on. AQueryx uses the 'hot-plug' database drivers to connect to various
backends while the front-end stays the same. The drivers are free software (see Simple DB).
- Query editor, touch and go
The queries may be complicated and long, spanning several lines, there may be many of them,
different variants of queries, entire SQL scripts, anything you need. Whenever you want to run a single
command, you just set the caret on any line it spans and press CTRL+Enter, just touch and go. (The series
of SQL commands may be run as batch, of course, too).
- 3 work-spaces
It is often handy to work with more than one SQL script or more than one backend at the same time.
AQueryx features 3 independent work-spaces which can be easily switched. Each work-space can open different
source file and each work-space can connect to another database (or even backend).
- Tabular output - handy way to inspect the data
The results of the queries are displayed in the nice and well-arranged table. The column names and data types are
set up according to result sets. The lines have alternating colors to improve readability.
- Some more bells and whistles
There is much more to AQueryx, eg: SQL syntax hilighting, command execution time-stamping (fine
for tuning SQL commands), undo/redo, search and replace and more.
