*'''Delete'''. While the number of references is impressive, their quality is not. I would like to emphasize that a mix of references where some fail to [[WP:INHERITED]] (a thesis about JPA that uses DbV but could have used any similar software), some are not independant (press releases), some are not reliable (blogs) and some are passing mentions is no substitute for '''even a single source''' that matches all criteria all of GNG. Special pleading ("but it is software, so there are less sources or sources of lower quality") ought to be discussed at the guideline level (e.g. [[WP:PRODUCT]] or [[WP:SOFTWARE]] though the latter one is only an essay).

:Wikipedia is, ironically, considered an unreliable source by its own standards. So what? It does not follow that verifiability should go down the drain. [[User:Tigraan|Tigraan]] ([[User talk:Tigraan|talk]]) 10:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

* Hello all. I'm creator of the article discussed above. The reason of creating it was following: I have searched for alternatives for DbVisualizer since I work this program heavily every day, and I was researching if there are other tools with comparable features. Unfortunately, Wikipedia's list of SQL tools wasn't listing DbVisualizer. So I have added it as I know it's functionality and I'm sure, that the tool must be in comparison list as one of most powerful ones. I have no idea why it is still not mentioned.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in Wikipedia bureaucracy so all these rules with references, notability, etc are too hard to understand. I wasn't even able to upload a screenshot because of too much effort get through all the rules.

I don't mind if the article will be removed due to rule violation. I'm not a developer of this product, just user. However I'm convinced, that the tool must be at least present in the comparison table.
