KeepTool Enterprise released

KeepTool Enterprise includes:

• Hora - Offer both developers and administrators a wealth of ways to view and manipulate databases. Most Hora page layouts include an overview data grid, that displays the main object (i.e., tables) including its metadata. Subsequent detail tabs show subordinate objects such as table columns, constraints, indexes, triggers, and so on. Each data grid has a context menu that offers operations for maintaining the displayed object and includes operations like ‘create’, ‘alter’, ‘drop’ and ‘show DDL’.
• Reverse DB - The Reverse DB Engineer creates the entire DDL for all objects of a database schema or any arbitrary subset. You can call Reverse DB in batch mode for periodic backup of your database structure or to check-in the script into a source code version management system. DDL statements for database objects are ordered by dependency. This avoids errors that could occur if a referenced object has not been created yet.
• SQL Editor - A powerful text editor for SQL and Oracle PL/SQL that comes with syntax highlighting as well as the capability to execute single SQL commands or batch-execute SQL scripts.
• DB Doc - The Generator builds an HTML page listing all metadata for a schema’s objects, including tables, views and PL/SQL program units. Tables and views list all columns and their attributes, constraints, indexes and triggers, along with any comments that have defined. DDL is included for views as is source code for PL/SQL objects. Hyperlinks connect related objects.
• DB Compare - Compares one database schema with another. Items found in the second schema are labelled “added.” In contrast, items found in the first schema are considered “removed.” The third category “changed” are objects present in both schemas but with a different structure. When you highlight one, the DDL for each is displayed side by side. Besides detailing the differences, a generated draft script helps you to consolidate both structures. It contains a series of DROP and CREATE statements. For comparing a database that is not accessible through your company’s network use Reverse DB to script the remote database. After that, compare as a local copy.
• ER Diagrammer - If you need to quickly understand the relationships between tables in a schema, ER Diagrammer presents those to you in a concise, easy-to-understand format after scanning the table definitions and foreign-key constraints in the data dictionary.
• PL/SQL Debugger - Makes setup a snap by providing a skeleton call block that asks only for calling parameters to be populated. Then you can either step through your code line by line, or skip ahead to breakpoints. If you missed something, you will automatically be placed back at the top with the opportunity to watch a few more variables or to stop at different places in the flow.
