Command-line based database administration

DataTools: DataTools contains functionality for the administration of databases based on an SQL-server. Examples of included functionality are backups, backup restorations, check and repair of the database, connecting to and disconnecting from a database and viewing database information. The program is installed together with program files and can be started from there (MDataTools.exe). You can start DataTools from the Windows Start menu under the Mamut Point of Sale program group.

DataTools can be used as a separate program or started from within other Mamut applications. To support this, DataTools can also be started based on command-lines. The program is installed automatically during the installation of a Mamut installation that works with DataTools.
