Embarcadero releases first post-CodeGear product


By Alan Zeichick
August 1, 2008 — 
It’s only been a month since Embarcadero closed on its July 1 purchase of CodeGear, but the early fruits of that acquisition are being seen with its first post-acquisition product release. DB Optimizer is a SQL profiling and tuning tool that the company says is synergistic with both Embarcadero’s classic line of database utilities and CodeGear’s IDEs.

According to Embarcadero, DB Optimizer can help fine-tune an application’s SQL statements. It begins by monitoring the SQL queries in the code through analyzing CPU and I/O metrics. Developers can then use those metrics to rewrite SQL queries to be faster and more efficient.

The product comes in separate versions for IBM’s DB2, Microsoft’s SQL Server, and Oracle’s and Sybase’s database management systems, according to the company. DB Optimizer costs US$1,875 for a single seat; volume licensing can drop that to $1,500 per seat.

The software includes an existing Embarcadero product, PowerSQL Professional Edition 1.1, which is an Eclipse-based IDE that offers code completion and syntax validation of SQL statements with.

According to Embarcadero, DB Optimizer offers visualization of wait-time analysis to easily pinpoint SQL statements that may cause poor database performance, with drill-downs detailing the activity information for an individual statement. It offers real-time quick fixes to automatically flag and correct inefficient SQL code.

Michael Swindell, who had been with Borland and CodeGear since 1997, is now vice president of products at Embarcadero. He said that DB Optimizer is the first of several planned products that will extend CodeGear’s reach into databases, under the new DatabaseGear brand.

“By bringing together DatabaseGear and CodeGear tools and technology, Embarcadero is delivering a complete portfolio of platform-independent optimization tools for both application developers and database professionals,” Swindell said in a statement.
