NET Framework isn't necessary for this program (even despite the .NET in name)

2018: Fails on my Win XP. Description says it is XP compatible with .NET4
Sick of trying to find something that *just* works.
Gonna find a crack for QODBC 7.1 Be a damned lot easier!

Fabulous MySQL software. One of my favourite pieces of Windows software. Only my browser and text editor get more use. Nice and fast.

@ReDeX I've tried SQLite Administrator for a few minutes... It comes in a zip file with needed sqlite dlls and it has no settings except language so it could be used from a USB drive. But it's not stealth, it registers itself to open .sdb files and a few others. It also has no unicode support as I can see. I couldn't find out where he stores language option setting... In trying to find that out, I have only found out that it doesn't work at all on my second computer... Don't know why though, I have genuine xp sp3 on that computer...

bro on 2012-02-08 13:49

Sorry about the off topic again...
I found out where SQLite Administrator saves settings (in %APPDATA% by default), but it checks for sqliteadmin.ini in application directory first.

Can't use SQL files directly, have to connect to a server. useless.

scottG on 2011-02-16 13:11

Just a clarification, this doesn't work "directly" with Oracle, MySQL or other DB, it requires an ODBC connection set up. If it worked "directly" with those it would connect to Oracle via TNSNames on (default) port tcp/1521 and for MySQL tcp/3306. It does neither.

bushy555 on 2019-07-01 23:20

2018: Rubbish. No workie with Informix database.
Description reads very well as in, it can sing, dance, and bake a cake. In fact it sits in the corner and sulks.

Moving on....

Worked like a charm with an Access database. Saved me plenty of time trying to get the info through some other import tool.

lautrepay on 2012-03-13 01:12

@NickR: Updated. Thanks!

Nh on 2018-07-10 03:12

Not fully unicode (at least for field names).
Also his version can't change and save any setting - simply it does not create mdbplus.ini.

Nice util!!! However it overwrites my DBF file (i.e. it still works, but the file is not identical to what it was before opening it with DBF Viewer Plus). If I set the DBF file to read-only, it says "access denied", and won't open it. That's not really acceptable in my book!!!
