While BMC is as guilty of puffery as any other vendor, the existence of their products is enough proof of some value.

Let's think about it. SQL Backtrack competes with the "free" Oracle9i Logminer. If there wasn't some "meat" to SQL Backtrack, nobody would buy it, and everybody would use the free Oracle solution.

The same is true of the BMC DB-Xray product. It competes with the Oracle's Performance Pack.

It does not make sense to me that these products would exist if there were not some customer base for them. Received on Sun Apr 20 2003 - 05:31:18 CDT
