BMC Software has announced the creation of dbazine.com, an online portal destination for database information and solutions. As the premier online community for data professionals, dbazine.com provides a wealth of information, including tips and techniques and links to related sites, articles written by industry experts, academics and BMC executives "With dbazine, BMC will be able to share its 20 years of database experience with data professionals, empowering them with information and lessons learned," says Reg Swart, product manager at local BMC distributor CCH Enterprise Solutions. "dbazine is set to be the database information site for data professionals on the Web."
dbazine is free and can be accessed at both www.bmc.com and www.dbazine.com. It will be updated monthly to provide the most up-to-date information. The site offers resources and information for the following database platforms: Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server and IMS.
The debut edition of dbazine features the article "The e-DBA and Data Availability", the first in a series of guest columns from DB2 author and guru Craig Mullins. Also featured is an interview with Bill Inmon, considered by many in the industry as "the father of data warehousing".
Another article offers tips and techniques to fine-tune SQL Server performance. Links to dozens of other database related organisations are also provided, as well as links to industry publications.
Each month, dbazine.com will offer reviews of database-related books as well as a site of the month and an article of the month. The ongoing feature "Lazy DBA" will offer database management tips and techniques for the latest products from Oracle DBAs. Developed by BMC`s enterprise data availability unit, dbazine.com is produced by an internal BMC editorial team and a group of contributing writers.
"dbazine.com offers data professionals a clearing-house of industry-related information, and an online community where they can interact with other data professionals, who can provide support and help for their specific questions and problems," adds Swart.
