The tool can provide a mirror of the database tables, named SandBox, so I can do table insert, update, delete, whatever. After a while, I can destroy the sandbox, and rebuild a new one, without bothering to do on the real tables. I was told by the boss that toolkit was purchased from IBM, expensive.

There's a difference between working on a mainframe and working on PCs/Macs. With a mainframe, your production system and development system are generally the same one (unless you're using VM). However, with PCs/Macs, you can (and should) have a separate development system as close to the production system as you can get.

I even keep multiple virtual machines with different configurations using Oracle's VM VirtualBox. That way I can match the software on the system I'm coding for.
