RE: Performance/Optimization/Monitoring Tools
I would say now that CA owns ERwin it pretty much is terminal, regardless of whether or not its the last release they send out. -Original Message- Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 9:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For those of you who maybe interested: Kumar: CA to organize products into four brands At CA World, Computer Associates President and CEO Sanjay Kumar outlined the software vendor's plan to refocus on six core segments divided into four branded product lines. http://computerworld.com/nlt/1%2C3590%2CNAV47_STO62061_NLTam%2C00.html -- so - does this mean 4.0 is a terminal release for ERWin?

RE: Performance/Optimization/Monitoring Tools
Other than those from the companies you have mentioned (and personally - as already mentioned - I would stay away from CA) here are a few others to bear in mind: SHAMELESS PLUG NORAD Surveillance Module - www.bradmark.com (also www.cool-tools.co.uk) (Sits in between Spotlight Foglight from Quest, except cheaper, well established, and highly configurable) /SHAMELESS PLUG Performance Centre - www.embarcadero.com (Only version 1.something at the moment, but a solid start for a monitoring tool) Mamba - www.luminate.com (it's free but a cool tool all the same) Precise SQL - www.precise.com ? (Very low impact on the actual server, meaning you can have very low monitoring periods (2 seconds even) as they have mapped the system memory, and do not need to connect to the database to monitor it) Experience from market: CA (Don't even go there, support is bad, the products may be good, but not really going anywhere in a hurry) Quest (Good solid tools, constantly moving forward in development, support a little flaky at times and pretty expensive, but widely used) BMC (Plenty of $$, hard to configure for monitoring (have even heard you need consultants to do this) but again good tools if you can afford them) This is really a quick overview..

RE: Performance/Optimization/Monitoring Tools
I have no real product experiences to share with you. Just offering to add another name to your list. www.dbdoctor.net They contaced me after they had read my white paper about database monitoring. They sell a service, not a product. Basically they have software that collects data/stats about your databases. From this data they generate reports. One of the reports is a DBA to-do list of things that need to be fixed/tweaked. Check'em out. If, by chance, you do sign up with them then please let me know what you think of there service. Thanks.
