Press Release Summary = In addition to detached database files and snapshots, new
SQL Examiner Suite (1.2) allows the use of a database backup as a source database
for schema and data comparison

Press Release Body = TulaSoft, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a premier
developer of SQL database comparison and synchronization tools, has announced the
immediate availability of SQL Examiner Suite 1.2. This is a suite of tools (SQL
Examiner 1.6, SQL Data Examiner 1.2) that provides developers and database
administrators with an all-in-one solution for comparison and synchronization of the
schema and data of two Microsoft SQL Server databases. Version 1.2 of the suite
delivers a new unique feature, allowing backups to be used as a source database when
two databases are compared. This considerably simplifies the work of database
developers.

SQL Examiner software has been evolving since 2003 and has seen many technological
improvements that made it stand out of the other competing products. The engineers
at TulaSoft were the first to add support for Microsoft Windows Vista, integrate an
opportunity for partial synchronization, and realize support for SQL Server 2005.
The company doesn\'t stop at these achievements, extending the product\'s
functionality with a new unique capability to use backups as a synchronization
source and an opportunity to compare them with live databases, which so far has had
no analogues among the similar software.

Users of the new version will benefit from the opportunity to spend less time on
synchronizing the structure of databases and migration of data. Database
administrators regularly create backups of their databases, and no one keeps several
versions of one and the same database on the server. To compare the data stored in
the backup with that of the working database, users would restore it, which was a
severely time-consuming task if the database was large. Unlike similar software, SQL
Examiner Suite compares a live database with a backup itself, making the process of
comparison much quicker. In doing it, there\'ll be no need to restore the backup, and
it\'ll be enough to specify the needed database and click \'Compare\'.

\"We often received requests from our end-users, asking us to add support for a
backed-up database so that it can be used as a source of data,\" says Mikhail
Gerasimov, CEO of TulaSoft. \"When we added this capability and beta testing began,
we got a lot of enthusiastic feedback from the end-users of the beta version. Now,
the comparison of a backed-up database and a live one has become handier and
quicker, resembling a point-and-click procedure.\"

Here are some key benefits that the new feature provides:
- Quicker comparison of a backed-up database with a working one. No need to restore
a backup as a separate database.
- Quicker and simpler finding of the necessary data, because there is no need to
spend time on restoring several old copies.
- Less time is spent on search of changes that were made after creation of the last
backup.
- Simple viewing of changes that were made during the period between two backups.
- An opportunity to rollback changes in the data for several tables, while the data
in other tables remains unchanged.

SQL developers make plenty of changes to a development database before they migrate
its data to a production database, which involves hours of intensive scripting done
manually. Errors and their debugging make things even more difficult. SQL Examiner
Suite will help developers synchronize schemas and data between two databases in a
pain-free manner. Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005 is fully supported. There is
a wide range of opportunities to configure the parameters of synchronization, which
allows users to get a synchronization script that fully matches their needs. The end
result can be achieved in a few clicks but if necessary, the user can set up
practically any parameter of synchronization. The suite is delivered in a friendly
interface that is designed in the style of Office 2003 and Visual Studio 2005. The
program is Vista-ready and supports all new functions of the newly released OS.
