Re: RIP DDL Wizard

Net 2000 was a huge acquisition by Redgate, giving them the masking tool they desired for their SQL Clone to go SQL Provision product. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the lead behind this. The question would be, is there another tool from them that is similar that competes with it? Now that I don't know. I'm more familiar with their cloning and masking products as that was in my wheelhouse while I was at Delphix.

Their marketing just reached out to me yesterday about presenting with them, so I did ask about a PM that I could talk to about this topic, so let me know if getting more info on it is still of interest.

Hope this helps,
