Visual Query designer

I want to provide my users the ability to query various tables within a database (currently sqlite - but as this is unidac that could change). Or rather I want to provide a visual query builder the output of which will be a valid sql string that i can pass to unidac.
Can anyone recommend something that will do this?
Thanks.

Hello,
Our DAC components, including UniDAC, are data access components and don't include visual components for working (building queries) with databases in the run-time mode. There are standalone applications for this purpose. You can create a query designer yourself using our components by getting metadata and creating queries basing on this data.

Thanks Alex - I could also develop a DAC by writing my own code
I note that you do sell a query builder for sql server - is there any intention to do the same for unidac
I dont really want to re-invent the wheel, thats why I buy third party controls, can you or anyione else recommend a query builder that will work with unidac

Hello,
As UniDAC is designed for working with many different databases, we don't plan to create a unified query builder, because every database has its own peculiarities.
