Jailer Database Tool

Jailer is a tool for database subsetting and relational data browsing.

• The Subsetter exports consistent, referentially intact row-sets from relational databases, generates topologically sorted SQL-DML, DbUnit datasets and hierarchically structured XML.
• The Data Browser allows bidirectional navigation through the database by following foreign-key-based or user-defined relationships.

Features

• Exports consistent and referentially intact row-sets from your productive database and imports the data into your development and test environment.
• Improves database performance by removing and archiving obsolete data without violating integrity.
• Generates topologically sorted SQL-DML, hierarchically structured XML and DbUnit datasets.
• Data Browsing. Navigate bidirectionally through the database by following foreign-key-based or user-defined relationships.
• SQL Console with code completion, syntax highlighting and database metadata visualization.
