KeepTool continues to evolve as the Swiss Army knife for Oracle professionals — bringing together tools that developers, database administrators, and analysts rely on every day.
With each release, KeepTool adds refinements that make Oracle database work faster, more transparent, and more enjoyable.
The latest updates enhance the user experience across Hora, ER Diagrammer, Reverse DB Engineer, and DB Compare, making the suite even more powerful and flexible.
KeepTool’s flagship tool Hora provides a convenient way to explore, edit, and analyze your Oracle data.
The Data Content Browser has been improved to make browsing and exporting even more intuitive.
Now you can:
Group your data by one or more columns,
Display aggregated totals such as SUM or COUNT directly in the grid, and
Export the grouped view to Excel while keeping the structure intact.
Moreover, Hora’s Master-Detail View helps you analyze parent-child relationships between tables.
As you move through records in the master table, related rows in the detail table appear automatically.
This live synchronization saves time and provides a clear, relational view of your data.
The Reverse DB Engineer has also been refined to give you more control when generating scripts for Oracle schemas.
In addition to exporting table definitions (DDL), it now allows you to include data for selected tables, giving you greater flexibility when migrating or archiving.

Furthermore, you can specify WHERE conditions or limit the export to specific records, ensuring scripts remain lightweight and targeted.
This is particularly useful when sharing subsets of schema data for development or testing purposes.
The ER Diagrammer continues to be an essential part of the KeepTool suite.
It helps you visualize database structures automatically and generate professional diagrams that make complex relationships easy to understand.
You can now focus on subset diagrams, starting from a single table and automatically including related master or detail tables.
Additionally, with just one click, you can generate matching HTML documentation for all tables in your diagram — keeping your visual and textual documentation perfectly aligned.
The DB Compare tool has been optimized to make schema synchronization even faster.
It can now compare large Oracle schemas more efficiently, highlighting structural differences in a clear, color-coded format.
You can review the differences directly, then generate and execute synchronization scripts instantly — all within KeepTool.
This streamlined process reduces the risk of inconsistencies and simplifies deployments between development, test, and production databases.
All KeepTool applications — from Hora to ER Diagrammer and Reverse DB — share a consistent interface design and follow the same intuitive logic.
Because of this, learning one tool means you’re already familiar with the others.
The integration between modules allows you to move seamlessly from data browsing in Hora to schema visualization in ER Diagrammer or scripting in Reverse DB.
In addition, KeepTool continues to support modern Oracle releases and Windows environments, ensuring smooth compatibility and performance for years to come.
If you want to explore the latest improvements for yourself, download KeepTool and see how Hora, ER Diagrammer, Reverse DB Engineer, and DB Compare make Oracle database management more efficient and enjoyable.
KeepTool's Oracle tools are designed specifically for developers, DBAs, and support teams.
Based on over 25 years of experience, we continuously optimize our software to make your database analysis and documentation faster, more efficient, and clearer.
