Too bad Jester doesn't have the courtesy to promote the product at comp.databases.oracle.marketplace instead of rudely spamming this usenet group.

Though, after more than ten years of debugging SQL applications I can't think of a single instance when I've felt the need for a tool to help me do it so I am wondering ... why a product that serves no purpose? I mean ... easier than what ... typing exec or desc? For this I should pay money?
