<p><font color="#990000">This topic applies to .NET version only.</font></p>
<p>Db4oTool.exe utility is distributed together with db4o .NET version and can be used for Native Query optimization and Transparent Activation Instrumentation.</p>
<p>The main use-cases for Db4oTool are:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="../../../tuning/native_query_optimization/build-time_optimization_for_.net.html" class="wikiLink">Optimization of NQ</a> at build time. This will improve Native Query performance by cutting of query analyzing time during execution.</li>
<li><a href="../../../tuning/native_query_optimization/nq_optimization_on_cf2.0.html" class="wikiLink">Optimizing delegate NQ syntax on CF2.0</a>. This optimization can only be done by Db4oTool as CompactFramework 2.0 API does not expose any of the delegate metadata needed for the optimization process.</li>
<li><a href="../../../object_lifecycle/activation/transparent_activation_framework.html" class="wikiLink">Transparent Activation</a> instrumentation. This will enable you to use TA without modifying your classes or to use TA on third-party classes.</li><li><a href="../../../object_lifecycle/transparent_persistence.html" class="wikiLink">Transparent Persistence</a> instrumentation. This will enable you to use TP without
modifying your classes or to use TP on third-party classes. TP implicitly includes TA instrumentation for the same classes.<br></li></ol>
<p>If you use Db4oTool for use-cases 1 and 2 you will be able to distribute your application without Db4objects.Db4o.NativeQueries.dll (the assembly where the Native Query runtime optimizer lives).</p>
