The Data Masker for SQL Server Online Tutorials

The Data Masker tutorials are interactive "movies" which show you how to use the Data Masker software to protect and sanitize the data in your test databases.

Viewing a tutorial is like sitting with an instructor - you see the mouse move and the buttons press and each step is explained in detail as you progress. The tutorials are entirely Flash based - no plugins are required! All you need is a reasonably recent web browser. The tutorials can be viewed online by clicking on the links below.

The tutorials are quite small given the complexity of what they do. However, they are each several hundred Kb in size. If you do view them online you might experience a short delay while they get started - we appreciate your patience.
