Database tools supplier Bradmark Technologies Inc, Houston, Texas is offering enhanced database management utility tools for Oracle and Sybase as part of its DB General suite of management tools. For Oracle and Sybase users the company has released version 2.0 of its Performance Monitor real-time monitoring and alarming software. Version 1.0 ran on a personal computer that users had to connect to the database to access information. Version 2.0 has a new distributed agent running on the server that dispenses with the personal computer. Performance Monitor will be released with server agents for Oracle 6 and above, and for Sybase 4.2-up on HP-UX. In addition, it will support Sybase running on all other hardware systems via an open client interface. Server agent versions for Solaris, AIX and other Unixes will follow next year. Performance Manager costs $1,000 to $8,000 per server for Oracle and $700 to $6,000 for Sybase. Bradmark will also offer Object Manager software for managing Oracle clusters and tables running under HP-UX from a Windows personal computer by year-end. AIX, Solaris and NT versions are promised for the first quarter of 1996. Object Manager costs from $2,000 to $9,000 depending on the size of the installation. Bradmark has built a Tablespace Manager feature for Oracle that enables table-space to be rebuilt on-line. It costs from $500 to $3,500. Bradmark will focus on Sybase development next year, including implementations of Tablespace Manager and Object Manager; the DB General suite will go up under DB2, Informix and OpenIngres over time.
