Y2K Tool for Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server, SQL Anywhere, Informix

ServerLogic Releases Year 2000 Solution for Database Stored Procedures SP/2000(TM) Identifies Date-Related Issues in Popular Databases that other Y2K Remediation Programs May Miss

Bellevue, WA (January 11, 1999) -- ServerLogic, a leading provider of Year 2000, client/server and Web solutions, announces the release of SP/2000 - a Y2K tool for database stored procedures.

SP/2000 locates and identifies date-related issues within stored procedures for the major client/server databases, while significantly reducing the costs associated with an organization's Y2K effort. With SP/2000, an experienced developer can scan, analyze and remediate approximately 300,000 lines of code within a week.

SP/2000 recognizes numerous date manipulation techniques commonly used in Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Informix and SQL Anywhere databases. SP/2000 searches exported stored procedures for embedded 2-digit dates, improper date string manipulation and incorrect database date function uses. Analysts can leverage SP/2000 to parse stored procedure scripts, make changes to the exported code from within the SP/2000 environment and generate detailed reports highlighting the syntax and line number of any potentially non-compliant code. These reports may then serve as an audit trail of an organization's Y2K effort.

Are You Sure You're Y2K Compliant?

The primary benefit of SP/2000 is its ability to reinforce an organization's Y2K effort. Stored procedures for most popular databases have date-related variable declarations along with their own windowing rules for handling two-digit years. While several software vendors have tried to adapt tools to work with stored procedures, these tools don't always catch date-related issues within database scripts. Because it is designed solely for database stored procedures, SP/2000 can more quickly and accurately identify potential Year 2000 problems.

"With SP/2000, ServerLogic offers organizations a turnkey solution for their database stored procedure Year 2000 effort," said ServerLogic Vice President Terry LeLievre. "Recognizing the issues associated with Year 2000 and stored procedures is a challenge for most organizations; identifying the best tool solution is now easy."

ServerLogic offers a free evaluation copy of SP/2000, along with its highly successful PowerBuilder-specific Y2K tool, PB/2000ä, on its web site. For those who seek a turnkey consulting solution for stored procedures and PowerBuilder applications, ServerLogic offers factory services at its Bellevue, Washington headquarters.
