Microsoft has added a database-oriented tool to Visual Studio Team System, an application development suite designed to bolster the company’s sales to large corporations, the software giant said Wednesday.

Visual Studio Team System has different tools aimed at various participants in the software development process, including coders, testers, project managers, and architects who design systems. These collaborative development suites are generally used for complicated, larger-scale projects.

On June 12 at the Microsoft TechEd 2006 conference, the company plans to release a preview of Visual System Team Edition for Database Professional, which is expected to be ready by the end of the year.
