DB/Artisan & Performance Center Product Overview we make data work™
What is DB/Artisan? Embarcadero DB/Artisan, the leading cross-platform database administration solution, helps DBAs maximize availability, performance and security.
DB/Artisan: Editions • DBArtisan Standard • Provides standard cross-platform database administration facilities for a specified number of databases • DBArtisan Professional • Provides cross-platform database administration facilities for an unlimited number of databases and includes the Embarcadero SQL Debugger and SQL Profiler • DBArtisan Workbench • Provides cross-platform database administration facilities for an unlimited number of databases, includes the Embarcadero SQL Debugger and SQL Profiler for troubleshooting SQL code, and also contains the Embarcadero Analyst components for proactive, advanced storage and performance management
DB/Artisan Workbench • Proactive Diagnosis and Management • Space Analyst:storage/object diagnostic tool combined with Job Reorganization Wizard • Capacity Analyst:storage and object growth tracking facility for proactive planning and problem prevention • Performance Analyst: client-side visual database monitor that pinpoints problems that threaten availability • Powerful Back-up and Recovery • Back-up Engine: for back-up and recovery that significantly reduces storage requirements (SQL Server) and speeds up the task
New Object Editors and Wizards DBArtisan 8.5 continues the reworking the object editors and wizards. Aimed at improving workflow and the user interface experience, the new editors and wizards adopt a .NET look and feel, and are being reworked for consistency. Improvements to SQL Editor components and the underlying SQL Engine A new results view grid has been implemented. Display options now allow you to switch between HTML, grid, and ASCII views. The default for the locking mechanism has been changed so that locking a query/results window to a data source remains in effect until you disable the lock, regardless of data source changes in other windows. Lastly, the results view generated on ‘Select * From’ functionality, and the Script Execution Facility, is now accompanied by an ISQL editor tab that lets you view and work with the SQL source. Schema Migration/Extraction Enhancements Options new for 8.5 optimize several aspects of schema extraction and migration. These include an option to determine dependencies by text parsing, a USE statement option, the ability to execute SQL statements before and after procedure or function extraction, and integration of DT/Engine. Additional Currency Features For each supported DBMS, DBArtisan has been upgraded to take advantage of features previously unsupported. Highlights include DB2 table partitioning, Oracle RAC and Automatic Memory Management support, support for Microsoft SQL Server schema objects, 2005 permissions, and new LOB datatypes, and new Sybase datatypes and security features. Bug Fixes and General Improvements The most significant general improvement is to performance when working with large results sets. What’s New in DB/Artisan 8.5? More
