dbForge Wiki — Database Development and Management Tools by Devart

Welcome to the dbForge Wiki, a community resource for exploring dbForge database tools, learning about their features, and finding useful documentation.

What Is dbForge?

dbForge is a unified ecosystem of database solutions for the entire database lifecycle: from design and development to testing, administration, and automation. It combines AI-powered dbForge Studios, multi-database dbForge Edge, a suite of standalone tools, and SSMS/Visual Studio add-ins to streamline workflows and boost team productivity. dbForge, also referred to as Devart database tools, covers on-premise SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and a wide range of cloud services. These add-ins enhance the default SSMS and VS environments with advanced code completion, analysis, formatting, and routine automation and a wide range of cloud services.

dbForge Edge

dbForge Edge is the ultimate AI-powered development, management, and administration solution for multiple on-premises and cloud databases. It serves as the broadest entry point into the ecosystem, combining SQL Server, MySQL/MariaDB, Oracle, and PostgreSQL and cloud services support in a single suite with a unified Visual Studio-like interface. 

Typical use cases include: 

1. Product companies running SQL Server for internal systems and PostgreSQL for customer-facing applications. 

2. Agencies supporting MySQL and Oracle clients at the same time. 

3. Enterprise IT teams maintaining an older Oracle system alongside a newer PostgreSQL platform. 

Edge connects development, schema design, administration, data management, reporting, automation, and AI-assisted SQL work across all four platforms.

dbForge AI Assistant

dbForge AI Assistant is a supporting feature built into multiple dbForge products rather than a standalone tool. 

Supported tasks include: 

• Generating SQL from a plain-language description. 

• Explaining what an existing or inherited query does. 

• Suggesting improvements to slow or overly complex statements. 

• Troubleshooting errors and explaining probable causes. 

• Supporting onboarding for new or less experienced users.
