I have been told that this is the right place to point you to a new
software tool.
It's a visual application I have been working on.

I believe, it can be useful when you need to represent data, make
reports or charts and when you need to export or move data.

Here are the links:

DataTime Universal (downloadable)

In case anyone uses it and comes up with suggestions (even on the
commercial side),
they would be clearly welcome. In fact, as you will see, this program
has the
ambitious aspiration to be able to integrate across several dbms at
the same time, allowing easy data exchange. But clearly this means
that is quite complicate to foresee all what can happen and achieve
the necessary flexibility ...

I have also created a group here, in case of questions:

Thank you all.
