Complete working GUI DBA Tool you can brand to your application
The DBA Sample Tool is a complete DBA tool very similar to the Data Builder, but
it includes the source and distribution rights. You may customize this sample
for your company and ship it as a DBA tool for your customers administrators.
Most business applications need some database admin tool for their tech support
or on site administrator. Building that tool and making it able to perform
just about any needed task for the database can often take as long as the actual
desktop application! This tool provides a great base for any customer support
tool you may need.
Not for end users
It is not intended as your end user application, or for data entry by end users!
This is truly a tool just for admins or tech support personnel.
DBA Tool Screen Shots
The DBA Sample Tool is able to perform almost all of the actions the Data Builder
can, including packing and repairing databases. You can also use the Data
view to quickly fix bad data entered by users, or to make quick fixes without writing
a tool just for that purpose.

Customizing the DBA Sample Tool
Customizing the DBA sample is done using Visual Studio 2008 or higher. A central
point to look at for customizing the settings is the Common.cs file in the project.
It provides a single static Common class that contains most of the options you might
want to change for your version of the application.
We have heard from several customers that modifying the sample code to do what they
wanted (usually remove functionality because they didn't want users to have
all that power) was quite simple.
Several customers have told us that this pak was worth the entire price of VistaDB
compared to them building it themselves from a "free" database engine.
This is sold as an add on to a Developer License in the form of the
DBA Sample Tool Pak.
