You shouldn't have to talk to sales to find out whether a database tool can open your tables. Since this week, dbSlice works without a license key in an evaluation mode, and the free version is on the Microsoft Store.
Free, with no key
| You can | How it helps |
|---|---|
| Create connections to the leading databases | Check drivers, network and permissions from your own machine |
| View data in any table or view | See types, encodings and odd values before you plan a copy |
| Compare structures of two schemas | Spot missing columns and type differences between source and target |
| Export to CSV | Take a sample out for a report or a quick analysis |
That is usually enough to answer the first questions of a migration: can we read the legacy system, and how far is its schema from the new one?
When you need a license
Writing to a target database (sync, copy, replicate) and the other export formats need a Desktop or Server license. Same app, same install: activating a license unlocks the rest, no reinstall.
Why the Store
- Installs and updates through Windows, with no installer to download.
- Works on locked-down corporate machines where the Store is the approved channel.
Editions and prices are on dbslice.net.
