Interesting web site.

They claim to eliminate chained rows by rebuilding the tables.
I'd like to see how they intend to do that.

They also claim that their product can detect corrupt indexes
and rebuild them.  How hard can it be to detect ORA-1578?
This kind of thing is fairly rare, and hardly seems worth the
resources to run DBMS_REPAIR or dbv to check for.

Their MO is hardly new.  IBM has had a team in place for years
designed to make an end run around the purchasing mgr/DBA/whoever
when their product wasn't selected.  They go to upper mgt to
try and convince them of the foolish mistake the product 
evaluators made.

Not surprising that others follow their lead.

To all,

    I don't often complain about vendors, but this is what I call 
exceptional
case.  I've no idea who the individual (not really the word I want to use) 
is,
but he came right out of the clear blue claiming to know who I was.  OK, 
so I
went to their web site & took a look at what they offer & was not 
interested for
a bunch of good reasons.  What does this damned person do, finds my CIO & 
sends
him the attached spam message.

    Beware, this firm senware is on the top of mt trash pile.

Hi Douglas,

I sent you an email a couple weeks ago about getting someone at Vicor to 
review
our product.  We have a few open slots left in our upcoming webcasts (info
below).  Who would be the right person to attend?

To refresh your memory, our product, AutoDBA, can save you money, effort, 
and
hassle.  It gives your Oracle database people tremendous leverage and
efficiency, by automating all of the preventative maintenance your 
databases
need.

AutoDBA lets DBAs accomplish twice as much as they're doing now: storage
management, performance tuning, downtime avoidance, etc.  More info at
www.senware.com.

Our web-based product demos are short and informative, feature and 
technology
oriented rather than sales oriented.  Please forward this email to 
whomever at
Vicor you think would be interested, or reply and point me in the right
direction.

Again, thanks in advance.

Here's the information on the webcasts:

Dates:   Wednesday, Aug. 21 and Wednesday Aug. 28
Time:    12:30 PDT (1:30 Mountain, 2:30 Central, 3:30 Eastern)

Instructions:
     Go to http://senware.raindance.com
     Click on "Participant Login"
     For Event Name, enter dba7924385
     For audio, dial 1-888-693-8686
     Enter audio ID 7924385

If you're interested, please reply back so I can reserve a spot for you.
Questions are welcome.  We can even do a custom savings analysis for your
organization.

Sincerely,

Jack Wachtler

P.S.  Final thought: AutoDBA is definitely worth a look if you use Oracle. 
 It
monitors the DB and detects future problem areas, then generates custom 
scripts
to fix problems and manage the database.  The scripts are executed in a 
safe,
intelligent fashion, subject to your control, via a smart and simple user
interface.  For more info, drop me a line.  Thanks.
