Zoho DB & Reports is the latest addition to the Zoho office software collection. The application is released today and is a worthy addition. So what can it do ?

• 1. It's an Online Database & Reporting application.


• 2. It offers spreadsheet like interface for simple data manipulation and navigation


• 3. Supports data import/export from variety of spreadsheet formats including .xls, .csv and .tsv files


• 4. Drag & Drop based reporting & visual analysis, with support for creating Charts, Pivot Tables, Summary Views and Table Views


• 5. Full-fledged SQL (Structured Query Language) based querying of your database for creating powerful and flexible reports.


• 6. Understands SQL Queries/dialects from multiple databases - Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix and ANSI SQL


• 7. You can share databases, tables & views in read-only or read-write modes


• 8. You can embed Tables, Views, Charts etc within blogs and websites


• 9. Highly Scalable database with access from anywhere, anytime.

With the use of forms, spreadsheets and other formats it has become easy to manipulate data inside the DB. After having used Zoho Creator, which is pretty powerful in itself, this application opens up a whole new world of data management.

The release of this app puts Zoho one step ahead of the competition, and I believe Google won't make us wait too long to release its own competitor application.
