Third party tool- Embarcadero Db Optimzer- any reviews?

  • Eh- first off apologies if this should be in another section... didnt really think any of the fprum groups were perfectly appropriate, so I went to my standard.

    Anyone used, or try a product called "DB Optimizer" from Embarcadero? I've been asked to "try it out" and report on it, but I am extremely good with profiler, and DTA, so I'm not sure if I'm a great reviewer. My managment team seems to like that the product works on multiple db platforms (SQL Server, DB2), but I kind of have the opinion: I can do it with the native tools- spare the money on the license for this and put a little extra in my bonus!.... no, not realistic....

    in all seriousness- anyone use this and like it?

  • I've never seen a tool that an replace an great DBA.

    Bad / Mediocre maybe, but then again I wouldn't want him using a tool that can provide wrong solutions since he can't spot them ;-).
