Sort, search, freeze and hide columns. Edit records, attachments, and multi-value fields. Thousands of records scroll instantly, and changes stay in memory until you save, with an optional backup copy. Password-protected files open after you type the password, which is kept in memory only.
Pick values from a list, or set a condition that fits the field type: text, numbers, dates, yes/no. Filters on several columns combine.
Saved select, crosstab, union, and action queries, parameters included, plus an SQL editor with highlighting and autocomplete. Every VBA module opens with syntax highlighting and the SQL built inside the code, and many procedures run directly on the Mac.
Create tables with keys and indexes. Add, rename, and delete fields, and change a data type after a check of what would be lost. See the relationship diagram, manage linked tables, print a report of every object, create blank databases, and compact old ones.
Import and export Excel, CSV, Parquet, JSON, XML, HTML, and SQL scripts. Move a whole database to SQLite, relationships and indexes included.
Native menus and shortcuts, light and dark appearance, numbers and dates in your region’s format. In English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Hindi.
