Since 1996 Benthic Software has produced high quality database tools for Oracle and other SQL Databases. Our products are high performance Windows programs that are designed to be both powerful and easy to use.

Updated the FAQ page to include information on the 64bit programs. Note that 32bit versions of our products are to be used with the 32bit Oracle Client; 64bit versions need the 64bit Oracle Client. Golden 6.1 with many new features and improvements should be out in early May.

There are 64bit versions of Golden, PLEdit and Goldview now on the downloads page. These versions require 64bit Windows and the 64bit Oracle Client. If you are using the 32bit Oracle Client, you do need to use the 32bit versions of the programs. Please let us know if you have any questions or problems with the 64bit versions!
