DBArtisan and DBArtisan Workbench Get Upgrades
Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., has released DBArtisan, DBArtisan Professional, and DBArtisan Workbench 8.0. The updated products offer enhanced performance management facilities for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) environments and Oracle Database 10g.
Embarcadero DBArtisan enables DBAs to concurrently manage multiple databases from a single graphical console. With the new version, Embarcadero supports the monitoring of Oracle RAC environments and is the first third-party vendor to support the new performance diagnostics in Oracle Database 10g, including the new response and wait-time metrics. These metrics allow Embarcadero Performance Analyst users to track SQL and bottlenecks over time and provide deep drill-downs to pinpoint performance-related problems.

DTM Migration Kit Automates Migration
DTM Soft has released DTM Migration Kit, a solution that
automates data migration. To use the DTM Migration Kit, a database administrator sets the rules for data migration, using a wizardlike interface.
The rule-setting procedure is performed only once, after which the migration can be done automatically
at scheduled intervals.
DTM Migration Kit works with unified interfaces of ODBC and IDAPI as well as with Oracle Call Interface. It can import data from plain text, Microsoft Access databases, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Paradox files, and DBF (dBase and FoxPro) files. It can export data to plain text, RTF, HTML, XML, and binary large objects (BLOBs).

By Rick Greenwald, Robert Stackowiak, and Donald Bales

The book distills an enormous amount of information about the product and its many components into a compact, easy-to-read volume filled with focused text, illustrations, and helpful hints. The book begins with an overview of the middle tier and the rise of application servers. It then provides a history of Oracle's product, introducing the various components along the way and putting them into context. Finally, the text provides detailed instructions for use of the components as well as suggestions for best practices to get the most out of the application server.
