Features

• Captures structural information for tables, fields, indexes, and relationships that Visual FoxPro's database container (DBC) doesn't manage.
• Corrects invalid DBCs by resolving the problem instead of just “cutting it out” like the VALIDATE DATABASE command does.
• Integrates into FoxPro's menu bar, so it's always available.
• Well-designed data dictionary maintenance screens make learning and using Stonefield Database Toolkit a breeze.
• Allows you to move tables from one database to another without losing all the data dictionary information.
• Maintain all data dictionary information (both native to Visual FoxPro and Stonefield's extensions) using one tool.
• Generates complete documentation (table, field, index, relationship, and application information reports) for a single table or an entire application.
• Allows you to create grids interactively, and display them using a single function call.
• Define new properties for any object as you think of them: security, foreign language captions, usage information ... you name it.
• Re-index and Update functions ensure the tables at your client site remain in sync with data dictionary changes you make at your office.
• Repair utility handles “Not a table/DBF” errors by correcting the most common DBF header problems.
• Get extended properties from the data dictionary with just a single function call. Change the size of InputMask of a field in the data dictionary and watch all forms and reports adjust automatically at runtime without editing them!
• Automatically handles renamed or deleted fields and tables, resolving every reference in the database. Using Visual FoxPro's native tools, this is a big manual job.
• Use the data driven methods included with Stonefield Database Toolkit to reduce development time and maintenance effort for your applications. Some of the methods are:
