Zero Impact Sql Transaction Analyzer PRESS RELEASE

Sql Power Tools is pleased to announce the Zero Impact Sql Transaction Analyzer product for real-time SQL statement analysis.

This industry breakthru product for DB2, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle and Sybase database servers will provide DBAs, E-Commerce Applications, Administrators, Help Desks and SQL Developers the following crucial information on database server performance at the SQL transaction level:

1. Identification of the SQL statements that ran most frequently on a database server, with complete SQL text and performance.

   e.g. the top 50 SQL statements/transactions that were executed

        by a production database server 24x7.

2. The complete statistical distribution of all SQL statements

   that ran on a production database server.

3. Both the average performance and service level profile of the SQL

   statements that ran most frequently. Performance statistics provided    by SQL statement include: end-user response time, database server    response time, network times and more at the SQL statement level.

4. All accomplished with ZERO IMPACT upon the production database server,

   network or end-users, since the real-time SQL transactions are    non-intrusively captured with the Zero Impact Sql Monitor product.

Todays complex business systems for E-Commerce, three tier architectures, and client server applications contain thousands of SQL statements developed using rapid application development tools such as Application Servers, C++, Java, Power Builder, and others.

About 80% of database server (and in turn end-user application) performance incidents are related to the performance of the application SQL statements. The remaining 20% are due to high level resource limitations with CPU, memory, I/O and other database configuration issues.

Furthermore - conventional database monitoring products typically only monitor high level system resources, i.e. about 20% of the database server performance incidents!

The Zero Impact Sql Transaction Analyzer (powered by the Zero Impact Sql Monitor) addresses the performance of real-time SQL, i.e 80% of database server performance issue incidents.

3. End-user service levels are improved.
