Duo Easing DBAs' Load

Two database management software vendors--Embarcadero Technologies Inc. and Quest Software Inc.--are expanding support for additional platforms, thus enabling database administrators to manage multiple database platforms from a single console.

Embarcadero on Tuesday rolled out deeper support for IBM databases in updates of DBArtisan and Rapid SQL, its database administration tool and integrated database development environment, respectively.

New features of DBArtisan 7.1 include support for IBM DB2 UDB (Universal Database) EEE (Enterprise Edition Extended). Users will no longer have to leave the DBArtisan management consoles to administer EEE environments, thus saving time and improving ease of use, according to officials at Embarcadero, in San Francisco.
