German software company KeepTool launched the first version of its tool, "KeepTool 1.0.0," in June 1996. Initially used internally by a large German software enterprise, the non-commercial version offered a graphical interface for commonly used SQL scripts.

The software utilized SQL*Net access via the Borland Database Engine (Native Oracle SQL Links), a key feature for database interaction at the time. This aimed to simplify the execution of database queries and commands.

KeepTool has since continued its development in the database management tools sector. The archived release notes from 1996 indicate the company's long-standing presence in the software market.

Details of this early release and other historical information are available on KeepTool's website, providing insight into the company's product evolution.
