SdfBrowser Portable

SdfBrowser Portable is a super handy tool for anyone working with Microsoft SQL Server Compact. Its main job? To help you explore the ins and outs of an SDF code database.

Easy Database Exploration

This app lets you run queries on your SDF file, which means you can pull up all sorts of details about what’s inside your database. And don’t worry if you're not a pro – the interface is user-friendly enough for both seasoned database admins and newbies who just want to check out their data.

Version Support and Upgrades

SdfBrowser Portable supports versions 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 of SDF database files. This is great because it lets you upgrade files from older versions to newer ones without any hassle. Plus, it comes with all the necessary database drivers!

View and Manage Your Data

Once you load an SDF file, you can easily browse its tables and get detailed info about each column like data types, default values, and character limits. You can create and run selection, insertion, update, or deletion queries whenever needed! There’s even a feature called ‘SdfAuto Editor’ that helps automate some common tasks.

Powerful Features for Administrators

You can dump or compact databases, create new ones, or repair existing ones. The query editor also has cool features like syntax highlighting, word wrapping, line numbering, and autocomplete functions to make your life easier. Plus, it keeps a history of all your commands so you can look back at them anytime.

Your Data is Safe!

If you're worried about security (and who isn’t?), you can set up a password for your database to keep those prying eyes away from your sensitive information.

Multi-Instance Launching

You can even launch multiple instances of SdfBrowser Portable if you need to compare databases side by side! And since it’s portable, it doesn’t mess with your system registry – it runs straight from a USB flash drive.

In short, while SdfBrowser Portable might seem simple at first glance, it's actually quite powerful for anyone managing databases on Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition.
