Did the story end well for that tool ? (Does it still exist in Access 365?)

visual SQL builders have been around forever, most feel like they were designed by someone who never writes joins, this one has reverse-engineering from existing SQL which is enough to try it

Isn’t the big problem of SQL visualization coming with subqueries and the WITH statement ?

Plans to support other sql flavors?

hey guys, I am the creator of the SQLJoiner project. Nice to meet you all :)

Thank you for the feedback.

The project was created to help navigate (understand in my head) large/complex queries done by other people.

To answer your questions: 1. Plans to support other sql flavors? - SQLite support has been recently implemented - Maybe in the future, Postgresql. - Nothing from Microsoft. Sorry, I rarely use Microsoft software. 2. How robust is the SQL → canvas parsing? - It is basic (draws correctly simple SELECT, WHERE, JOINS). Feature upgrades require manually drawn query contexts (feedback for RE).
