(1888PressRelease)
May 29, 2007 - Using this technology DBAs and developers can write SELECT statements or SQL scripts as if they were running them against a single database. The user configures SQL Farm Combine(TM) and tells the tool where to run the code to get the data and where to save the results.
SQL Farm Combine(TM) automatically distributes the code, aggregates the data, and writes the results to pre-configured destination databases. The entire data collection and storage process can be run on demand in a single click, or can be scheduled to automatically pull data from all databases and servers.
The data collection features in Combine are completely portable and can be easily moved from development to QA and Production, or to remote datacenters. The engine can be installed in any machine on the network or can be invoked using redistributable components.
"SQL Farm Combine(TM) is an agile framework for working with many databases and servers and allows enterprises to scale out without losing the ability to access their data or easily manage their environments," said Thomas Goff, Co-founder and CTO of SQL Farms. "Before this release you could run a distributed query and view all the results in the user interface. The new features are an extension of this framework and allow users to easily build custom monitoring and reporting applications using our data collection engines."
A free 21-day evaluation of SQL Farm Combine(TM) is available on SQL Farms' website at http://www.sqlfarms.com. Sample projects for automated data collection and custom monitoring are also available for download and let users monitor SQL jobs across all servers in the datacenter, as well as monitor database files size, filegroups, and growth.
