SQL*XL ribbon in Excel

SQL*XL provides a bridge between databases and Microsoft Excel. With SQL*XL you have a single SQL interface to all your databases. Convenience and productivity is the focus of this software! Working with databases was never easier. You can build cockpits, reports, spreadsheet applications or use it for ad-hoc data analysis and data management.

SQL*XL provides an easy to use bridge between Excel and your databases.
SQL*XL super charges Excel by adding a ribbon/menu/toolbar interface to Excel so database access appears to be native. Through comprehensive dialogs you have interaction with the database.

Connect to any database. SQL*XL Universal connects to any database. Supported databases are Oracle, MS SQL Server, Access, Foxpro, IBM DB2, etc. Also connections can be made to text or csv files and spreadsheets.

Explore the database…
SQL*XL provides a simple way to browse through the tables and views in your database. The basic SQL statements are generated for you in the SQL editor.

Extract data from the database…
Data can be retrieved from the database and put straight into your Excel spreadsheet. Care is taken to format the data correctly so you can use the data in e.g. Excel calculcations and charts without problems. A one click table dump is provided but the main method for retrieving data is through SQL. Simply type the select statement and SQL*XL retrieves the data into Excel.

Data entry & data upload…
A full spreadsheet full of data can be inserted with a few simple mouse clicks. Simply prepare the data in your spreadsheet and use the insert multiple rows feature. Feedback is written next to your data rows to indicate whether the insert was successful or not.

Change data in the database…
Once data is retrieved into Excel, SQL*XL allows you to edit the data in the spreadsheet. When the changes are made, the data can be updated in the database with a few simple mouse clicks. Optionally SQL*XL will ask you to confirm each individual change.

Available for all versions…
SQL*XL is compatible with all current Excel versions: 2016, 2013, 2007, 2003, XP (2002), 2000 and 97. Connectivity to Oracle is supported for the Oracle releases: 10g, 9i, 8i and 8.x With SQL*XL Universal you can create a connection to most database types (e.g. SQL Server, Access, Oracle, …).
