I must admin, I didn't get you at all, too. During the last days I  
used VStudio for the most times of my days and it simply works. Yes,  
there may be some minor issues during the lasts months, and it  
sometimes may be hard to track down the source of issues. But a  
question or one more in an appropriately tone would for sure lead to a  
solution.

In my experience during the last year, Paradigma is the fastest and  
most helpful software companies currently on the market and believe  
me, I know a lot of DB vendors for 20+ years.

Guess you never worked with real databases on a professional level?

Yes, of course this is "marketing", but I think there is nothing wrong  
with it. Do you've ever seen SQLDeveloper? FBManager? SQLAnywhere? ...  
Most of them lack in one or far more probably in many cases and you  
need to spend *real* money on 3rd party software.

correct - you should know, that you never, never, never open a local  
db parallel in another app, but the statemenet is verified.

Same here - verified and approved several times with really large  
databases (120+ tables)

> Quickly and easily create tables and fields in your database
Verified - see above - and far better, if you prefer open a SQL Editor  
window and paste in your legacy sql code to create whole structures in  
lighspeed.


> Browse through your existing database data
Yes - and even better during the last releases the speed becomes  
faster and faster and faster

> Add, edit and delete records in your database
I must admit, I didn't do it so much like administration, but it works.

> Import data from any ODBC data source
Sorry - never used.

> Execute Valentina SQL queries against your database
Heavily used, found several issues, all was fixed and worked now  
better then before - there are so many cool features in the SQL-Editor  
you won't find in many other tools, e.g. autocompletion with .dot  
notation.



Btw. you can see how customer friendly Paradigma is, when let this  
"crap" (sorry, IMHO) go to the list.


@Ruslan: Sorry, I'm not on the rev list anymore, feel free to forward  
my reply to this list, too.
