Yeah, i'm happy for it to go into the public domain
(We don't realy want to support it), It uses virtualtreeview
and is a warpper for the SQL-DMO Objects
I'd prefer to keep it under subversion (so everyone
benfits from changes) so if anyone else would like access to it I'll set up
a public domain repository (email me off list)
Re the licencing, I think its pretty loose (I've not
worried to much) from what I've read on ADO
newgroup M$ just want it out there as a launching pad
for full SQL, AFAIK its NOT user limitied but the only
problems I've had have been performance on relatively
simple queries over multiple tables (3 to 4) on large
databases, 1 query ran 32 seconds on SQL 7, 20+ minutes on
MSDE (same database, same memory and CPU),
Almost as if the thing was throttled (do do do do <spooky noise>)
My theory is that M$ made it this way because when it
is backended to Access the query opt would be done by
Jet (and MSDE would act as a glorified ISAM) but it
prevents you from using it in serious DB applications
