SQL Manager for DB2 is a software tool designed to simplify and accelerate the development, management, and maintenance of IBM DB2 databases. It provides a visual environment for designing databases, writing and executing SQL queries, managing database objects and user rights, synchronizing schemas, and handling data import/export and reporting. The tool is intended for database administrators and developers who require efficient control over DB2 environments without relying solely on command-line interfaces or manual scripting.
