Hi ladies, gentlemen,

Upscene Productions is happy to announce the launch of the successor
of the popular InterBase & Firebird Workbench tools -
Database Workbench version 2 has been released today!

Database 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, print metadata, includes
a stored procedure debugger and much much more...

Database 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.

Database Workbench supports InterBase and Firebird - download a
trial copy at http://www.upscene.com - go there now!
