Re: VisualdBSee

Without any code changes is really a good joke. "I want to drive a Ferrari instead of a BMW, but I don't want to change the car." This is impossible without code changes. It may be possible with a handful of code changes. We deliver a service tool with our application to deal with the database and t...

Re: We are back!!!

On the one hand, this is certainly great news, even if there were other ways to maintain the community.
