DGI plans to eventually integrate LECCO SQL Expert for IBM DB2 directly into Flight Deck, resulting in industry-leading rapid detection and optimization of problematic SQL statements. When Flight Deck detects a problematic SQL statement, the user can pass the statement to LECCO SQL Expert for automatic and rapid optimization. LECCO SQL Expert then generates every possible alternative to the source SQL and benchmarks the results to find the fastest alternative SQL statement that guarantees equivalent results. When this alternative replaces the problematic SQL statement, the user sees an immediate performance improvement. "We are very pleased to partner with DGI," said Tony Dee, LECCOTECH's vice president of international sales. "They have a comprehensive product portfolio for the DB2 performance management marketplace. LECCO SQL Expert for IBM DB2 is the ideal complement to the DGI toolset's ability to detect and identify costly SQL." Dee explained, "It is widely acknowledged that the single biggest reason for poor database performance is the SQL code that lies at the heart of all DB2-based applications. Given today's production environments where every second counts, it is critical that DBAs and support staff can resolve SQL-related problems as quickly as possible once Flight Deck identifies and drills-down to troublesome SQL. LECCO SQL Expert allows them to do this - automatically." Scott Hayes, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of DGI and DB2 UDB industry leader, added, "Given DB2 Optimizer levels 1-9, LECCO SQL Expert is so advanced, so thorough, so exhaustive in its consideration of various SQL rewrite possibilities, that it could be considered extending DB2 optimization to level 45. I call that breakthrough results." Brian Hunt, president of DGI, added, "DGI's product finds the source of the problem, then the DB2 Index Advisor and LECCO SQL Expert fixes it at truly optimized levels. Unlike other SQL rewrite software products, LECCO SQL Expert guarantees equivalent result sets." Hunt proclaimed, "This partnership is a big win for the entire DB2 industry." Initially, LECCO SQL Expert will be issued as a standalone module that customers can install on their client workstations. For added convenience and cohesion, a future version of Flight Deck will fully integrate LECCO SQL Expert, allowing for direct access to LECCO SQL Expert's capabilities from within Flight Deck without requiring a client install. LECCO SQL Expert for IBM DB2 is available immediately from DGI and its worldwide resellers.
