Rob,

I onlu meant to say, that more advanced users not
necessary need more advanced tools, besides if you've
got free SQL server...
I peronally prefer to use user friendly tools and I
admit that IBConsole has limitations in this respect.
If Marathon went open source earlier I would join
Marathon team, but when it happened I were already
involved in IBConsole, so I'm trying to do something
with it.
