Stonefield Query

The great part about this tool is that it enables the user to create the data dictionary, configuration, and script files for your database. It is a powerful tool whose purpose is to generate reports in a simple and intuitive way. Some of its features are the ability to access practically any database engine, from VFP native tables, VFP databases or anything else via ODBC or ADO, and to export the result to PDF or Word.

Though there are nothing much to dislike with this tool, the efficiency when it comes to information resources on how to use the tool is lacking. It’s hard to manipulate or navigate the tools without enough knowledge and trainings about the product especially for a non-tech user.
