Note 16: Last Minute Update: In Delphi 2007 Release 2 (part of RAD Studio 2007) you can modify the dbExpress metadata in Data Explorer. This tool features also a very nice Visual Query Builder.
What I did not immediately realize is that the Visual Query Builder that is part of the Update 3 of Delphi 2007 is actually called Active Query Builder, and is an existing third-party product you can find on http://www.activequerybuilder.com. The two look identical, and there was a reference from CodeGear to look on that site for details. Oddly enough, there was no announcement of any kind of the deal, and both CodeGear and Active Database Software sites don't even mention it.
