Rapid SQL review

Pros

  • It has the cross-platform capability that not many competitors have. I frequently need to pull data from two of our databases.
  • The debugger was easy to use, it takes me fairly less time to edit with Rapid SQL compare to SQL Server.

Cons

  • User base support is not as great as MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.
  • The included editor could be refined. I notice some of the reserved words were not highlighted.

Return on Investment

  • A great debugger that saved me a lot of time
  • The editor was not very user-friendly as some of the reserved words need to be highlighted
  • It's not as costly compared to Oracle, so it's a great value product
