DataManager

The DataManager could have been called 'Data Explorer'. It is a GUI application which allows the user to view and manage data sources. More specifically; it allows the user to browse data sources starting at the data source name and drilling down to the tables, columns and indexs. It also includes an SQL editor. The SQL editor is an editor which allows the user to submit SQL to the data source and view the results.
