Third Party Tools

VistaDB is a fully compliant ADO.NET 2 provider factory.  This means any application that knows how to take advantage of Dot Net Provider Factories can use VistaDB.  Provider Factories are how you write database agnostic code in .NET. 

Some applications (like Crystal Reports) also accept strongly typed datasets from your code.  You can generate the strongly typed dataset in Visual Studio and then reference it from the application.

Gibraltar is an end to end solution for logging, managing and reporting on your application.  What you log is entirely up to your application.  The product includes the ability to add trace listeners, log4net, and custom metric recording through custom code.  

They were also nice enough to write a blog about how VistaDB helped solve their business needs and do things they didn't think they could do without a server.

We also wrote a blog about Gibraltar for logging customer experiences.  This was during their beta cycle.  They have since released and improved the product even more.

SqlSpec

by Elsasoft

SqlSpec generates documentation in two formats: HTML or CHM. HTML is useful for publishing your documents on the web or an intranet site. CHM is useful if you want a single, compact file containing all your documentation about one or more databases. The CHM is indexed so it is easily searchable for any keyword. This way you can easily determine which objects reference the "EmployeeID" column, for example.

“Take a look at VistaDB, a new, incredibly fast data access engine built from the ground up for .NET. It's inexpensive, royalty free, and about 100 times smaller than MSDE. Hurry up and buy VistaDB before Microsoft buys the company!”
