ASA Database Converter provides two powerful tools which allow you either to edit query text directly with syntax highlighting and code completion or to build a query diagram visually selecting tables and fields, setting links between tables, etc.

The Editor area is provided for working with the text of the query. For your convenience code completion is enabled. You can activate the completion list by pressing the Ctrl+Space key combination.

SQL Editor provides you with an ability to execute multiple queries separated by a statement delimiter from the same editor tab. Queries are executed in a separate thread, so all ASA Database Converter features remain available during the execution.
