The new tools available are:

--  Job Editor: View and edit SQL Agent jobs across multiple SQL Servers

"Our primary goal is to make our customers' lives easier and we are doing that by packing the SQL admin toolset full of the tools that DBAs need on a daily basis," said Rick Pleczko, President and CEO of Idera. "We have had an overwhelming response to the beta and are looking forward to the release of the production version at the end of June."

Customers Rave About the SQL admin toolset

"This is a must have set of general purpose tools that every DBA can use to highlight regular activities that every DBA does or is going to do," said Max Turavani, DBA for Information Services at the District School Board of Niagara. "Patch Analyzer is not only a great tool for a DBA, but also for the systems and network administrators to stay on top of patches. I can't wait to see the rest of the tools!"

"I love this tool!" said Gerri Lawall, marketing administrator at Pilsen Imports, Inc., a machine tool distributor and parts and service provider. "I am really eager to see the re-indexing tool. We have a CRM product and re-indexing is a frequent task."
