Compuware Demonstrates New Technology for Debugging Oracle 9i Stored Procedures
Compuware DevPartnerDB Accelerates and Simplifies Java Stored Procedures Development
SAN FRANCISCO-- December 6, 2001 -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced at the Oracle OpenWorld Conference (Booth #1002) that it is demonstrating new technology for debugging PL/SQL and Java stored procedures for the Oracle 9i database. Compuware DevPartnerDB for Oracle accelerates and simplifies the development of reliable, high-performance applications by providing developers with the unique ability to perform proactive analysis and debugging of stored procedures.
"Oracle customers need to protect their 9i database investment and be able to ensure a continuously high return," said Carl Olofson, Program Director for Information and Data Management software research, International Data Corporation. "To do that, they need to reduce application errors and enable testing earlier in the application life cycle."
Compuware is demonstrating how DevPartnerDB for Oracle debugs stored procedures for an Oracle 9i database in the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment. This will enable developers to quickly debug stored procedures without having to leave the development environment, making developers more productive. Additionally, Compuware will show how DevPartnerDB enables the debugging of Java stored procedures. This technology extends the development, testing and debugging capabilities for PL/SQL stored procedures to Java development. The new Java debugging capabilities combined with the existing PL/SQL debugging features of DevPartnerDB provide Java developers the industry's only integrated, multi-language debugging solution.
"Database applications are complex and very time consuming to test and debug," said Shari Zedeck, Director of Product Management for Compuware's DevPartner products. "Compuware DevPartnerDB for Oracle will give developers a clear understanding of exactly what an application is doing and help them to quickly identify and resolve critical data access issues."
Compuware DevPartnerDB is a comprehensive application and database SQL optimization, tuning and debugging solution. Unlike other products, DevPartnerDB empowers developers to debug and tune PL/SQL in context of an application.
Compuware DevPartnerDB for Oracle version 4.0 is currently shipping and the new debugging capability will be available in early 2002.
