Again, thanks for your comments, I believe you are right. Particularly administrators are less concerned with what is in the database than how the database is organized and performs - for them the product does not currently offer any particular advantages at this stage. I will seriously consider how to better address this, given that administrators are arguably the most obvious consumers of this kind of product.
At this point the product addresses many of my own pain points of modelling and troubleshooting databases and data related issues from the point of view of a developer. Test departments too will benefit a lot from these features. As for the other groups it is true that they will mostly use a dedicated interface, yet for the time when the occasional manager or supporter does need/want to check out something he can. That is mostly an added benefit from the product being (hopefully) so easy to use.
Thanks for giving me something to consider for the future direction of the product.
By the way, the PDF example just demonstrates how the tool lets you download a file directly from a binary field in a table row (f.ex. bytea type column). It can be any file type, some use the database to store images, for example. Similarly, you can upload a file from your PC directly into a binary field in your table. It is a good example of how the tools makes an otherwise involved task very simple.
