| DATABASESPY EARNS TOP PLATINUM AWARD; RECOGNIZED FOR CUSTOMER VALUE, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, AND STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE TO THE MARKET BEVERLY, Mass., August 7, 2007 – Altova® (www.altova.com), creator of XMLSpy® and other leading XML, data management, UML, and Web services tools, today announced that Altova DatabaseSpy™ was named as the Platinum winner of the 2007 “Editor’s Choice Awards” in the Development Tools category by Penton Media’s SQL Server Magazine®. Winners were chosen in 17 product categories based on strategic importance to the market, competitive advantages, and value to the customer.
“In determining the winners of the 2007 Editor’s Choice Awards, our editors utilized their product knowledge and subject matter expertise to identify exceptional products that have been covered in the pages of SQL Server Magazine and its online newsletters, and which benefit the SQL Server Magazine reader community,” said Kim Paulsen, group publisher. “Our editors are tough, in-the-trenches critics,” Paulsen continued. “They demand solid value and performance from the products they select. Editor’s Choice Award winners can feel proud that the products and services they developed have earned the respect and recognition of the SQL Server Magazine editorial staff.”
Altova DatabaseSpy is a unique multi-database data management, query, and design tool that connects to all major databases. Built to simplify querying, visualizing, designing, and constructing relational databases, DatabaseSpy combines robust, flexible features to accelerate a variety of day-to-day tasks. DatabaseSpy can connect to multiple databases simultaneously, and its Project Manager organizes connections and related files to make accessing databases and their components effortless. The DatabaseSpy Online Browser presents tables, views, and data in easy-to-navigate windows, and its SQL Editor aids in querying databases with capabilities like code completion, syntax coloring, and drag-and-drop editing. For creating, modifying, and visualizing tables in DatabaseSpy, the Design Editor – hailed by the editors of SQL Server Magazine as “the feature that provides the most benefit to IT professionals” – displays tables and their relationships graphically and automatically generates and updates the SQL statements required to implement changes. It can even be used to duplicate existing structures in differing database types. With DatabaseSpy users can export data from databases in any of five formats: XML, XML Structure, HTML, Excel, and CSV. XML documents and schemas can also be exported directly to Altova XMLSpy, the industry leading XML editor and development environment.
“Overall DatabaseSpy is a unique tool that makes SQL editing and multi-database structure design easier for a fraction of the cost of single-database solutions,” said Lavon Peters, Senior Editor for SQL Server Magazine and Windows IT Pro.
“We are especially pleased to have DatabaseSpy named an Editor’s Choice Award winner by SQL Server Magazine,” said Tim Hale, Director of Marketing for Altova. “Microsoft SQL Server is certainly among the leading database systems, but most enterprises utilize several different database types to support their various applications. For the editors of SQL Server Magazine to recognize DatabaseSpy for its unique ability to query, access, and manage information across diverse database systems is an honor indeed.”
