Universal Query Tool

We have developed a browser-based query tool called Universal Query Tool (UQT). To access your databases you just need to have a web browser.

UQT is designed for companies which have a large number of non-power users who to need to view the database, run ad-hoc SQL and/or run reports which have been built for them. It doesn't have the full feature-set of AQT - we expect that power users will still use a product such as AQT.

Benfits of UQT:

  • UQT is installed at a single place - on a Web Server.
  • database software and connections only need to be set up and configured at one place - on the UQT Server
  • no software needs to be present on the end user's PC except a web browser
  • a variety of end-user devices can be used
  • administrators have high level of control over the access rights of users
  • has a usage-based licensing model

UQT is a separate product to AQT.

A Demo of UQT is currently available. Please contact us for further details.

Fuller information on UQT is available at www.universalquerytool.com

Usage-Based Licensing

UQT has a flexible pricing model, ideal for companies with users who only need occasional access to the databases

  • charging is based on a fee per-user, per-device, per-day
  • there is no cost for adding a new user to UQT
  • users are only charged for the days they use UQT
  • the same fee applies irrespective of how much a user uses UQT within the day

The fee has not been set , but we expect it to be in the order of USD $0.80 per user per day
