ANNOUNCING SQL-PROGRAMMER 2.VIII
http://www.sfi-software.com/pr29.htm

New Release Enhances Programmer Productivity Delivers New functionality and Debuts
PL/SQL Reformatter and PL/SQL Code Analyzer

Sylvain Faust International (SFI) today announced the immediate availability of SQL-Programmer(R) 2.VIII, a major update to its award-winning client/server programming tool that provides streamlined database management and comprehensive server-side code develop- ment for Oracle, Microsoft, and Sybase servers. The new release adds Oracle 8 object support, key improvements to the PL/SQL Debugger, a new PL/SQL code Reformatter, plus a new PL/SQL Code Analyzer. The result is the most robust application development tool set available. SQL-Programmer 2.VIII delivers the features required to increase productivity and better manage SQL business systems.

PC Week writes, "SQL-Programmer 2.VIII showed a wealth of strong new features combined with a much improved interface. In fact, this product is the best SQL integrated development environment we've seen, earning PC Week Lab's Analyst's Choice honors." [Oct. 26, 1998]

The author, Bert Scalzo, further states that SQL-Programmer's PL/SQL Reformatter is the best PL/SQL code-beautification utility we have seen.

"What you can't measure, you can't manage", said Sylvain Faust, president and chairman of Sylvain Faust International. "SQL-Programmer 2.VIII enables develop- ment teams and their managers to quickly evaluate the quality of their code, and therefore, to improve the usability, performance, and scaleability of their SQL business systems across different PL/SQL level dependencies. This new functionality not only stream- lines both the programming and SQL system management functions, it delivers a significant return-on-investment to the organization in terms of time and resources."

HIGHLIGHTS OF SQL-PROGRAMMER 2.VIII

SQL-Programmer's SQL-Explorer and Access Manager have been updated to support Oracle 8 types (objects). The PL/SQL Debugger is object aware as well.

The PL/SQL Debugger has been improved. It now supports execution of Dynamic SQL. Plus it permits drag-and-drop of %ROWTYPE variables into the Debugger's variable watch window, with automatic expansion of the record's elements.

The new PL/SQL Code Analyzer employs 50 coding metrics to measure and report on the various complexity aspects of the database code. This permits PL/SQL development teams to better and more quickly identify programming trouble spots.

The new PL/SQL Code Reformatter formats code to a common standard, with optional coding recommendations and PL/SQL level dependency checks. This permits PL/SQL development teams to enhance communication and improve maintainability by using an automatic common coding standard.

About SQL-Programmer

SQL-Programmer is an integrated development environment designed to assist database application developers with the construction and maintenance of server-side SQL code, such as stored procedures, functions, triggers and packages for Oracle, Microsoft, and Sybase servers. Its intuitive User Interface allows programmers to create multiple Personal Work Folders to quickly store and efficiently access all the information on a particular project. SQL-Programmer's drag-and-drop Virtual Editor enables users to revise, maintain and test server-side SQL code without affecting the original source code on the database server. Plus, the Documentation Generator automatically documents the programmer's work, producing more than 60 comprehensive reports detailing their database server environment. SQL-Programmer also includes direct interfaces to Microsoft's SourceSafe, INTERSOLV PVCS, and MKS Source Integrity for Change Management Control.

AVAILABILITY SQL-Programmer 2.VIII for Oracle, Microsoft and Sybase SQL servers is now shipping. Pricing starts at $799 US. The Oracle PL/SQL debugger is an additional $500 US. Concurrent licensing is also available in 5-user increments.
