Help keep our FREE SQL tools FREE

ApexSQL offers the largest collection of 100% free SQL developer tools in the universe. But we need your help in keeping these tools free

FREE tools aren’t free to design, develop, test, document, or host. And since we offer full support for our free tools, we even have recurring costs for product support. Also, since our free tools are under active development, our developer costs continue monthly

So to keep these tools free, we need your help. Here are some things you could do to keep this party going …
