Their product fact sheet states: "SQL Solutions currently offers a compendium of eight SQL productivity tools for each of the four major application lifecycle phases: design and analysis, development and implementation, debugging and performance tuning, and operational control." It looks like most of the tools were designed for use with Sybase, but support for other RDMSs is in progress. The toolset includes SA Companion, which is "the first fully-integrated operational control environment to aid SYBASE system adminstrators in managing complex SQL Server networks". Also avalable is SQL Advantage, a multi-RDMS programmer productivity environment for writing and debugging SQL code. SQL Solutions, Inc. was established in 1986, and in 1990, it merged with Sybase. Their address is phone 8 New England (800)933-0044 Executive Park (617)270-4150 Burlington, MA 01803 I've never seen the product, so obviously this is not an endorsement.
