jailertool2··on Jailer, a unique open-source database tool
It operates on database dumps. That alone is absurd. Database dumps are not public interfaces. And they are really not suitable for mass data processing.

You have a DBMS available, but all you ask from it is a dump of all data in a format that can only be used as an archive or transfer format. And yet you think you can process this data reasonably?

"Replibyte" is a toy. This thing operates seriously on database dumps - a text file full of "insert" statements (what DBMS often generates like this, but no guarantee)

May I ask why you decided to use a condenser?

If you have any problems with this tool, you can contact the developers. Either here (preferred): https://github.com/Wisser/Jailer/issues

or here (no registration necessary): https://sourceforge.net/p/jailer/_list/tickets

Moreover, it is not just a "tool", but "tools". In addition to the data browser that you are talking about here, there is also the "subsetter" (for extracting consistent subsets of a database). And for sure this tool is unique.

The tool is aimed more at developers/quality assurance specialists. So people who have a more technical view of the data. It is therefore not much about business cases.

Furthermore, the relationships do not have to be defined manually either. Rather, they are automatically recognized based on the database metadata. (However, manual entry is also possible).

I'm glad you like it. It is not only available for Windows, but also for macOS/linux and others. (It is a Java application)
