Subject ANN: Firebird Workbench 1.4.0 released!
Author Martijn Tonies
Hi ladies, gentlemen,

Upscene Productions is happy to announce a new version of
Firebird Workbench - the developer tool for Firebird.

Firebird 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...

Firebird Workbench works well on low-bandwith connections because
of extensive caching in the object editors and by using IBObjects -
the best Firebird connectivity suite for Delphi and CPP Builder.
