If you need easy Windows access to SQL databases, your search for the
right tool should take you to Quest, a graphical SQL data access tool
from Gupta Technologies, Inc. Quest allows you to create, browse, and
edit SQL tables, extract data from local, client/server, and mainframe
databases, create reports by pointing and clicking, and migrate data to
spreadsheets, word processors, and other Windows applications.

To work with Quest, you'll need Windows; however, with this month's
demo, all you'll need is no less than a 286 computer with a 1.2M floppy
drive, hard drive, and a VGA monitor. For a copy of the demo, call Data
Based Advisor Magazine Customer Service, (800) 336-6060, (619) 483-6400
and request a Quest demo disk. For more information on Quest, contact
Gupta Technologies, Inc., 1040 Marsh Road, Menlo Park, Calif. 94025,
(415) 321-9500, (800) 876-DBMS, fax (415) 321-5471.
