Testimonials
We have been using Active Query Builder for over a year and must say that both the product and support have been outstanding!
We chose Active Query Builder due to its flexibility and features, but have been truly pleased by its power and hidden capabilities. ...
In summary Active Query Builder provides excellent components, great support and a very flexible feature set. It has allowed us to provide features to our end users that I did not think would be possible in the first release of our new tools and in a timeframe that was much shorter than planned. I would recommend that anyone dealing with databases in the .Net world should be aware of this component and its capabilities!

Notes
* The Non-visual .NET version doesn't provide any visual user interfaces, it is only for the programmatic use of API.
** The Free version has support only for the most common features of SQL language up to ANSI SQL/92 standard while the paid versions support the great majority of database server-specific SQL syntax extensions for dozens of popular database servers.
