Re: DBArtisan

Suzy,

DB Artisan was originally written for Sybase, then MS SQL Server, Oracle and UDB.
It is intuitive and easier to use than most tools for Production Support (i.e. DDL extraction). When supporting multiple database platforms, the "one-stop shopping" console is also a plus. It used to be a really good tool for Sybase/SQL Server, pretty good for Oracle and ??? for UDB.
It's not a developer's tool for pl/sql, or didn't used to be. The data migration was ok for small sets of data because it used to take care of the RI. It wasn't something you wanted to use with large sets because it was client based (no server agent) so it extracted data from source database to the PC client, then pushed it from client to target database (server to client to server vs. server to server).

It's not web based, which the big vendors have been pushing, but that was a plus for me.

I noticed a lot more bugs in it once they started supporting all the major databases. Even so, it made life a lot easier.

I haven't used it in 2 years, so I don't know what they've done with it since.
