Empress Launches SQL Learning App for Apple iPad – Practice SQL with Free Empress Database Application for Apple iPad

Beltsville, MD, January 6, 2010 – Empress Software, developers of the advanced, agile Empress Embedded Database, announces the immediate availability of Empress SQL Master, a convenient, new SQL learning application for the Apple iPad.  Empress invites anyone looking to get down and dirty with SQL to download and use Empress SQL Master for free via the iTunes store.  SQL Master is a command-line application designed for the Apple iPad.  In a jiffy, SQL Master users can master SQL (Structured Query Language), the standard language for accessing databases.

Empress SQL Master provides a highly flexible, command-line environment for running SQL commands using a real, live database system.  It uses the Empress Embedded Database, an advanced, high performance database, to manage data.  Empress can easily manage data in multiple databases.  Users can practice how to make, create, change, and delete databases.  Empress SQL Master also provides a handy “Help” feature that lists common commands, concepts, and what they are used for, providing a core understanding of SQL concepts.

“Empress SQL Master is an SQL playground for iPad users,” states John Kornatowski, president of Empress Software.  “We designed this to be a closed environment so that users could freely experiment with SQL commands and data without any worry of messing anything up or deleting valuable data on their system.  Do something you didn’t mean to do and can’t fix it?  No problem.  Just delete the app and start over again.  You learn best by doing.”  “No ads? No worries mate!”

Empress SQL Master is available for free from the Apple iTunes store.  Type in key word “SQL Master” to find and download a copy for your iPad or go directly to http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/sql-master/id401237390?mt=8.
