It can found the metadata and data definitions of all of them. I can't even remember how many years I've used it but I use it for my hobby projects at home and my work projects at work. It is awesome. Pros I like the license, I can install this to all the environments I use to access databases and it is both allowed and possible. Cons I hate the "new" functionality of home-key. It doesn't get you back to the start of the line - unless you are "pasting". Review Source FH Florian H.
