Welcome to DBInspectorDemo-2.2
Enclosed is DBInspectorDemo, the demo version of DBInspector 2.2.  DBInspector is a fast and easy to use SQL query builder and gateway that supports reading from and writing to a Sybase dataserver.  This new revision includes support for the Mesa spreadsheet from Athena Design.

DBInspector supports the following:
	
·	Open an unlimited number of browsers connected to different databases and dataservers using different Sybase logins.
·	Build SQL queries automatically by clicking on the columns you want to see.
·	Define your own field and record separators.
·	Send query results to a formatted text window, database editor, Improv, or Mesa.
·	Modify data and write it back to Sybase.
·	Inspect selected object attributes and contents.
	
DBInspector is the only Sybase front-end that includes both English and Japanese interfaces and documentation.

DBInspectorDemo quits after 25 database transactions.  To obtain a fully functional version of DBInspector 2.2 with documentation, send a check or money order denominated in U.S. Dollars to:
