An alternative to BlueShell DataGuy

[Cookie]

As most others, when I first started modding SS, I downloaded and installed BlueShell DataGuy (since it was the only mentioned alternative to MS Access) to work with the SQL database. However, I quickly became quite frustrated with this (crappy) product. The features were limited, the interface less than ideal, and it was guaranteed to crash HARD every time I used.

 

I looked for an alternative soon after I started modding, and I discovered EMS SQL Manager for SQL Server

 

This product is infinitely better than BSDG. Better interface, more tools, and it NEVER crashes. In fact, I liked it so much, I downloaded and now use the MySQL version for work (I'm a Website / MySQL DB Manager in my day job).

 

Best of all, there's a FREE VERSION available!

 

Once you have an ODBC connection established, registering the DB is a snap! (PS - If you need help getting this to work, just ask.)

Great - if this product cause less crashes than BSDC and less error messages than ACCESS (...I'm not very familiar with it ) then I will sure start using it.
