Rapid SQL

What is Rapid SQL?

Rapid SQL is the intelligent SQL IDE empowering database developers and DBAs to create high-performing SQL code on all major DBMSs from a single interface. This toolset simplifies SQL scripting, query building, object management, debugging and version control while gaining instant insights on performance expectations.

Database developers are tasked with creating software applications that include complex business logic and accessing ever-changing database ecosystems. Additionally, database developers are expected to work seamlessly across disparate DBMSs and integrate their work with source control systems as part of their regular software development cycle.

Rapid SQL provides a toolset that simplifies SQL scripting, query building, and debugging with helpful tips and alerts to optimize code and the developer’s time. Rapid SQL’s single interface lets developers work across database platforms so organizations can standardize on one solution and maximize database development efficiency.

Rapid SQL Features


  • Create high-performing SQL code on major DBMS from one interface
  • Easily build complex SQL statements with visual query builder
  • Quickly construct, analyze and execute SQL code with code analyst
  • Simplify debugging SQL code, functions, and stored procedures
  • Collaborate effectively across development teams with version control

WRITE CODE ACROSS DIFFERENT DATABASE PLATFORMS Produce high-performing SQL code across DBMS platforms (Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Azure SQL Database, Oracle Database, IBM Db2 LUW and z/OS, SAP Sybase ASE and IQ, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Pivotal Greenplum, Amazon Redshift, and Snowflake) from one user interface. One interface lets you work across multiple database platforms so organizations can standardize on one solution and maximize database development efficiency.

SQL IDE

The SQL IDE is a clean, slick development environment, ideal for creating and modifying SQL code geared to the needs of application developers. Real-time quick fixes flag and correct inefficient SQL automatically, saving you time.

SQL Debugger

Simplify the task of hunting down and eliminating coding errors. The SQL Debugger lets you debug SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase or Db2 stored procedures and functions, improving your productivity.

SQL Scripting

Visual Query Builder

Constructs even the most complicated SQL statements with point-and-click ease.

Code Templates

Eliminates the need to memorize and type SQL syntax.

SQL Editor

Code folding, code collapse/roll-up, syntax coloring, hot key assignments, configurable auto replace of objects, bind variable support, selective statement execution.

DBMS Actions

DBMS actions, such as Extract and Drop, are available directly in the context menu of the appropriate tokens in the SQL editor.

Code Assist

Lists context-sensitive suggestions as you type (e.g. tables, columns, procedures, functions, and code templates) and is available offline.

Code Formatting

Code folding, syntax coloring, comment toggling, and other auto formatting features make it easy to read, navigate, and edit large SQL files.

Validate SQL Files

Validate SQL files and flags all DBMS-specific parser violations or references to objects not found in the target database.

SQL Code Improvements

Real-time parsing provides code quality suggestions for improving SQL performance as you type.

Debug SQL

Code Analyst

Performs detailed response time analysis on the execution of stored procedures and functions.

Debug SQL

Debugs programmable objects such as stored procedures, functions, packages, and triggers. Debug Java, step seamlessly into SQL (i.e. stored procedure) and back into Java again — true system-wide, round-trip debugging.

SQL Profiler

Captures metrics of various PL/SQL programmable objects on Oracle 8.1.5 and higher.

SQL GUI

Graphical and user-customizable display of a database’s internal processing order and priorities for queries. Provides built-in explain and performance execution analysis.

Object Support

Graphical Object editor

Create, drop, or alter a wide variety of database objects, including tables, constraints, indexes, views, procedures, functions, triggers, and packages. Editors are common for all objects (across all platforms).

SQL Object Creation Wizard

Wizards guide users through the creation of objects, prompting for the options that are applicable to objects found on the selected database platforms.

Grouped Database Commands

Execute database commands against a select grouping of objects (drop, compile, analyze, etc.).

Object Manipulation

Provides the ability to generate complex scripts as a result of object manipulation (inserting a column in the middle of a table).

Enterprise Database Management

SQL Integrated Development Environment

Develop high-performance SQL code on major DBMSs (Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Azure SQL Database, Oracle Database, IBM Db2 LUW and z/OS, SAP Sybase ASE and IQ, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Pivotal Greenplum, Amazon Redshift, and Snowflake) from a single common interface. Use the tool on all supported platforms from a single license.

SQL Graphical User Interface

Streamlines and automates common and repetitive tasks with an easy-to-use GUI and powerful wizards.

Automated Error Report

Use the automated IDERA Error Report feature to create a zip file containing important details about your Oracle or SQL Server installation, such as product information, hardware metrics, and necessary database information for troubleshooting.
