BMC Software has announced Web DBA for SQL Server, the latest version of its Web-based interactive database offering. Web DBA for SQL Server uses an Internet browser to address the daily database management tasks faced by database administrators (DBAs) and developers. Web DBA for SQL Server enables developers and DBAs to manage and control their SQL Server databases remotely.
"The release of Web DBA for SQL Server follows the success of Web DBA for Oracle, released in June," says Reg Swart, operations and product manager for BMC at local Master Distributor CCH Enterprise Solutions. "Now it is delivering the same solution for remote database management for the SQL Server database administrator."
With Web DBA available for both Oracle and SQL Server, BMC`s data management solutions cover the two largest database platforms, accounting for 75% of the distributed database market. Future introductions to the product line will include Web DBA for DB2 UDB, available in the second quarter of 2001, and Web DBA for Sybase.
Web DBA for SQL Server is part of the DataOne solution family, which includes more than 30 distributed database products targeting the areas of SQL Development Tools, Change Management, Performance Monitoring and Tuning, Maintenance Optimisation, Backup and Recovery and Business Information Delivery.
Web DBA for SQL Server offers a range of features:
Remote access:
Web DBA`s thin-client Web architecture allows anyone to manage and administer SQL Server enterprise database tasks from any Web-enabled PC.
Access to multimedia data:
Database administrators may view and manipulate multimedia data stored in their SQL Server databases.
Referential-Integrity (RI) Aware Data Editor:
Allows developers to view or edit table data within a spreadsheet-style format.
SQL Scratch Pad:
Enables database administrators to analyse problem SQL statements for tuning and to create, edit, execute and manage SQL scripts.
Privilege Granting:
Enables database administrators to grant and revoke object and system privileges.
"The infinitely distributed nature of e-business, and the unique pressures it places on corporate IT systems, mandates that companies can proactively manage their databases to a fine level of detail, without being tied to any one site," adds Swart. "This new release makes a significant contribution in this regard."
