SQL Image Viewer allows users to access, convert, view, and export images from mainstream database engines like BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, PSD, and TIFF. It can also export binary data stored in the databases.
In addition, SQL Image Viewer can export binary data, such as zip files, pdf documents, and more, that are stored in your database. This feature provides you with a great deal of flexibility and allows you to work with a wide range of file formats.
SQL Image Viewer is designed to support a wide range of popular database engines. By using a single interface to connect to multiple database engines, you can save both cost and time. SQL Image Viewer supports Firebird 1.5 to 2.5, MySQL 4.1.22, 5.0.67, Oracle 10g and 11g, SQLite 3, SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008, as well as ODBC data sources such as DB2 and PostgreSQL.
One of the great features of SQL Image Viewer is its ability to retrieve images using SQL syntax. This means that you can easily retrieve images using the respective database engine's SQL syntax, apply functions, join, and search arguments to selectively retrieve the images you want. In addition, the built-in memory monitor automatically cancels queries when the system performance is affected due to retrieving too many images.
SQL Image Viewer also enables you to view image thumbnails in one of three layouts - filmstrip, thumbnail, and tiled. It supports the display of images stored in various formats, including BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, and TIFF. You can also export images to disk, either in their original format or converted to one of the other supported formats.
When exporting images, SQL Image Viewer enables you to export large amounts of images as images are fetched on demand from the database. The progress monitor allows you to keep track of how many images have been exported, the duration taken, and the size of each image.
Finally, SQL Image Viewer allows you to view image properties, such as EXIF properties, and to save individual images to disk, either in their original format or in one of the other supported formats. It also enables you to view individual frames of an animated GIF or individual pages of a multi-page TIFF document.
Overall, SQL Image Viewer is an outstanding software tool that provides a wide range of features and capabilities. Whether you need to work with images stored in various database engines or export images to disk in various formats, SQL Image Viewer is an excellent choice for your needs.
