SYLVAIN FAUST INTL. EMPOWERS SQL DATABASE PROGRAMMING SQL-Programmer with integrated Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL uniquely combines
components into one productivity solution

HULL, Quebec, Canada, June 23, 1998 - Sylvain Faust International (SFI) today announced the general availability of SQL-Programmer with integrated
Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL, a client/server solution that provides a complete database back-end development environment supporting Oracle Server.

SQL-Programmer with Debugger, which integrates five development tool components, enables database developers and administrators to increase productivity, find and fix bugs faster, improve the quality of applications
and better manage mission-critical information.

"SQL-Programmer with Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL, enables development
teams
to be more productive; improve project management; build higher quality, more reliable SQL transactions and applications; and increase their capability to deliver projects on time and under budget," said Sylvain Faust, president and CEO of Sylvain Faust International. "With the addition
of the debugger feature, SQL-Programmer becomes the first product in its class to integrate five database tool components -virtual editor, script generator, documentation generator, version control interfaces and a debugger, into one single back-end development environment."

"SQL-Programmer with Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL is a product that should
be
a 'must-have' in any Oracle development shop. The product makes the creation and maintenance of Oracle stored procedures, functions and packages
a simple and enjoyable process," said Ian Abramson, co-author of Oracle8 Tuning and Oracle8 Data Warehousing. "The new debugger now allows us to test
and debug our code in an integrated environment. Just as important, it is
one of the most cost-effective solutions to managing the Oracle PL/SQL environment, in the market today."

"The interactive server-side debugging that SQL-Programmer provides has
been a tremendous help in maintaining our projected time lines, which are
always quite aggressive," said Mike Taylor, programmer at Conseco Inc.
"Since I have to work every day, I try to not only be productive but
also
try to make work as interesting and fun as possible. SQL-Programmer has fulfilled that need also."

"SQL-Programmer has been greatly enhanced by the addition of a debugger
for
Oracle packages, stored procedures and functions. The arrival of a line-by-line debugger for Oracle has been eagerly anticipated," said John
Drevicky, consultant with Techsys Computer Associates. "The bonus is that
this debugger has been well designed to be user-friendly; it provides an easy way to establish breakpoints; allows you to easily step into [and out
of] called objects and triggers; and, the use of watch variables to easily
see value changes to help quickly pinpoint problems. These features are supported by a solid and friendly user-interface. Not only a very functional product, SQL-Programmer with Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL was fun
to use. It will save loads of time in debugging problems."

Extensive Tool Set
SQL-Programmer with Debugger allows the programmer and administrator to manipulate and manage Oracle SQL code easily. With this monitoring capability, the user can identify incorrect code and edit it, enabling thorough management of clean code. By facilitating clean SQL code, SQL-Programmer with Debugger dramatically reduces time and effort on project
work.

SQL-Programmer with Debugger contains an intuitive user interface that allows users to create multiple Personal Work Folders to store information
for fast reference, providing programmers with a quick and easy way to build
and share a knowledge base of objects, information, and programming templates for various tasks and projects. All the information on a particular project is thus stored in one place for quick access and recall-as many times as required.

In addition, SQL-Programmer with Debugger is equipped with a documentation
generator that allows the programmer or database administrator to produce
over sixty comprehensive reports detailing the entire database environment.

SQL-Programmer Delivers Measurable, Bottom-line Cost Savings SQL-Programmer with Debugger contains a virtual editor and script generator
that enables programmers to efficiently maintain all programmable objects
such as Stored Procedures, Triggers, Functions, Packages, Views, Defaults,
and Rules without affecting the original source code in the database server.
This capability protects the development environment from untested code.

Now programmers can reach levels of productivity never before possible, resulting in direct savings to the bottom line through increased performance, higher quality output, and reduced computing and hardware costs.

Availability
SQL-Programmer with Debugger for Oracle PL/SQL is introductory priced at $999 US per single license in North America.

SQL-Programmer, winner of the 1998 Visual Basic Programmers Journal Reader's
Choice Merit Award, also supports Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase.
