Hi ladies, gentlemen,
Upscene Productions is happy to announce a new version of
InterBase Workbench - the developer tool for InterBase and Firebird.
This version includes support for the latest Firebird features!
InterBase Workbench gives you an easy-to-use application to create,
edit and extract your database objects, export tables, run scripts,
extract metadata, run ad-hoc SQL statements and much much more...
InterBase Workbench works well on low-bandwith connections because
of extensive caching in the object editors and by using IBObjects -
the best InterBase/Firebird connectivity suite for Delphi and
CPP Builder.
InterBase Workbench supports InterBase and Firebird - download a
trial copy at http://www.interbaseworkbench.com - go there now!
We don't copy features - we make them up.
