I downloaded SQLVue 3.0.2 Trial Version from LogicalVue Software's website. This version was last updated over a year ago on May 9th of 2005. The website states that 3.0.1 is the latest but the downloaded version is actually 3.0.2.

From their website: "The trial version has the same features as the Professional Edition. It works for 15 days, after which SQLVue will run in demo mode. License keys can be purchased from our store."

The $49.95 Standard version works with Windows or OS X and either old or new REALDatabase formats (up to 5.5 version).

The $149.95 Professional adds support for Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC and code generation.

In a nutshell, SQLVue is touted as a QueryBrowser/Table/Database builder for supported database system.

My interest it in was in converting a couple of small MySQL database tables into REALDatabase tables which is one of the advertised features.

First I connected to a localhost MySQL server and tried to execute an SQL script I'd generated that'd rebuild the database, tables and content I had a work. The small SQL editor locked up as the script was too large (14,000 record inserts.)

So today I went to work and installed the program there figuring I'd just convert the MySQL databases to REALDatabases.

I'd choose Connect to Database Server, Choose MySQL, enter the IP address, login, password and database. It'd connect perfectly. However, the main window wouldn't show me that there were any tables in the database and the titlebar tried to tell me that I was connected to an Oracle database! I tried this with several MySQL hosts running various versions of of MySQL from 4.1 to 5.0.x.

When I blindly told it to convert to REALDatabase anyway, THEN it showed me the tables! However, it reported errors created the tables, and took awhile to copy the 14,000 records.

When finished I had a REALDatabase File containing the sample movie stuff which was NOT what was in the MySQL tables.

At this point, I don't care if this IS version 3.x. I not only wouldn't pay $149.95 for it, I wouldn't pay $49.95 for it and I won't use it for free either. As near as I can tell, this is pretty much non-functional software.
