Visual Database Tools consists of a Query Designer and a Database Designer. With the Query Designer you can graphically create SQL statements to query or update databases. With the Database Designer, you can create, edit, and delete database objects for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 databases as well as for Oracle version 7 and 8 databases.

• Add or remove a data source from a project.
  
  
• Refresh the local version of a data source from the original version.
  
  
• Add a new stored procedure or trigger or edit existing ones.
  
  
• Execute a stored procedure.
  
  
• Drop a stored procedure from a data source.
  
  
• View the column headings and data types of a table or a view.
  
  
• View the properties of a data source.
