Testimonials

Adam Allen: "I just have to say WOW!!! I'm so glad that you guys have developed something that is so useful for MySql. I am able to graphically view my tables, and I don't even have to think about my queries because I can visually design them. I just stumbled upon this, and I'm already very excited about it".

Kym Harper : "Beautifully presented tools (and web site) and great service. I will be sending links to many other individuals who should be interested. Wishing you every continued success and thank you again".
