Providing an infrastructure for a cross database management tool

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Software tools used to administer databases are vendor specific, proprietary, and require extensive prior database knowledge on the part of the database professional. We have developed dbAnalyst, a vendor independent database administration and maintenance tool. dbAnalyst is an Open Architecture database administration and maintenance tool that can be used to graphically show a database schema, manage database objects, import and export database content, and generate database alerts. dbAnalyst can also be used to reverse engineer existing databases to uncover database objects and relationships and diagnose impending database issues. These features, and a uniform interface to any database, are supported for Structure Query Language-type databases.
