What DBArtisan is
DBArtisan is a self-hosted Windows tool for administering multiple relational database platforms through one interface. Supported engines include SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Oracle, IBM Db2 for LUW and z/OS, Sybase ASE and IQ, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Greenplum, Amazon Redshift, and Snowflake. Built-in analytics and diagnostics monitor space, data, and performance while helping identify inefficiencies. Graphical execution plans and inspection tools cover SQL syntax, cardinality, index usage, and data skew. A Migration Wizard guides schema and table-data moves within or between platforms. Administrators can view, grant, and revoke permissions. The application integrates job management with Windows Task Scheduler, supports LDAP, and uses JDBC or ODBC drivers where available with Unicode support. Windows specifications list a 1+ GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, and 1 GB disk space. The workstation license is $3,567, paid once. A 14-day trial requires a business email and other form details.
