Don't laugh, that is what a lot of Windows programming firms aimed for:

Start a small software firm.
Give your employees stock options.
Make a very useful utility.
Become popular.
Your stock value climbs.
Microsoft buys out your company at your stock value's peak.
Retire.

Then the .com frenzy started, but that wasn't as successful.

 apparently EZSQL was bought to suppress
 competition for TOAD and SQL Navigator.

There may be a cottage industry here.  Code up a front end, enhance
it in
your spare time over a year or two so it has most of the useful
features.

Then start giving it away.  Pretty soon Quest will buy you out.

Quest bought EZSQL

Guys, go to www.ezsql.net and read about it. Quest will not sell new
licences - apparently EZSQL was bought to suppress competition for TOAD and
SQL Navigator. It reminds me Marks explanation about capitalizm - that
capitalizm suppress innovations when they are thretening profits.

I had an email discussion with John Dorn (sp.?), the author, about this.
I'll send you the text if you wish? I was really upset about it

Quest also recently became associated with RevealNet.

Looked to me like they bought RevealNet, but could possibly be just a close
partership.
