 Do I need to know SQL (Structured Query Language) to use UDQ?

Nope, nada, absolutely not! UDQ generates well-formed SQL statements and can actually be used to learn SQL, but prior knowledge is not required. With UDQ, simply click on the fields you are interested in and the software does the rest.

Can I create reports without using a programmer or bothering the development team?

Absolutely. UDQ was designed with the end-user in mind. It provides safe, reliable access to any database and gives you the ability to create reports, send snapshots to Microsoft Excel and much more.

 Is it safe to use? Our Database Administrators keep the data locked down.

Yes, UDQ is quite safe and was designed by expert DBAs to provide reliable user access to data. UDQ will not have a negative impact on system resources.  In fact, UDQ's filtering, grouping, reporting and exporting activities all occur on the client side of the application, minimizing database and network traffic.

Do I need a training course to learn to use UDQ?

No, UDQ is a simple to operate and with a little practice, most people master the basics very quickly. The software has an extensive help mechanism that offers tutorials, examples and a searchable index of specific topics.
