Database Management Tool | Embarcadero DB Optimizer

Embarcadero DB Optimizer, the SQL profiling and SQL turning tool,  lets you quickly discover, diagnose, and optimize poor-performing SQL. By discovering data-intensive or frequently executed queries, focusing in on specific SQL statements through query statistics (i.e., CPU, I/O, wait times), and optimizing any problematic statements, DB Optimizer eliminates performance bottlenecks.

• Eliminate performance bottlenecks in production databases and applications
• Prevent poor-performing SQL from reaching production
• Develop, test, profile, and tune SQL in a single easy-to-use IDE

SQL Tuner lets you view cost details on collections of SQL statements you add to a tuning session. As a means of identifying bottlenecks or problem queries, SQL Tuner lets you:

• View high-level explain plan costs for statements as well as offering the option to view operation-by-operation explain plan details
• Generate execution statistics such as CPU time as well as Read and Sort details
• Work with automatically-generated SQL Optimizer hint-based variations on all statements in a tuning session

Used as a development aid, SQL Tuner lets you fine tune queries before putting them into production. As a maintenance tool, SQL Tuner can help you isolate and optimize queries in production systems.

Database Management | Why Data Warehouse Projects Fail

Data Quality is one of the hottest topics in any IT shop. Although very important, Data Quality is far from being enough because decisions are based on information, not on data. Having quality data does not assure quality information. To have quality information, it is necessary to have quality data, but this is not sufficient on its own. We need more.

Maximize the quality and efficiency of database designs.

Schema Examiner can examine database designs by directly interfacing with Embarcadero ER/Studio, our data modeling toolkit. Schema Examiner can also reverse-engineer the schema of existing databases or read SQL scripts directly. Design changes can be simulated before implementation to reduce risk and allow users to check and validate design alterations as a result of maintenance or new inclusions to the database structure. Schema Examiner will also identify violations of best practices that are adversely affecting performance, with suggested changes scripted for easy implementation.
