SEATTLE, WA -- 11/02/09 --
In booth #200 at the 2009 PASS Summit, Idera, a
Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and leading provider of management and
administration solutions for Microsoft SQL Server, today announced SQL
virtual database(TM), an innovative product for accessing and extracting
data from SQL Server backup files.
SQL virtual database is a one-of-a-kind solution that lets
database administrators (DBAs) and developers attach SQL Server backup
files and query them like they were "live" SQL Server databases. This
revolutionary, patent-pending technology enables instant-access to critical
data in a backup file without wasting the time or storage necessary to
restore the database. To access data in a SQL Server backup, the user
simply attaches the backup file using SQL virtual database, and then uses
any native SQL Server or third-party tool to query and extract the data in
minutes.
"Since we first conceived the idea of SQL virtual database, we knew we had
an innovative, easy-to-use product so powerful it would literally change
the way SQL Server DBAs did their jobs," said Rick Pleczko, President and
CEO of Idera. "Based on the feedback we have received during the beta, SQL
virtual database is exceeding even those lofty expectations. It is truly a
revolutionary tool that is a must-have for SQL Server DBAs and developers."
During a month-long beta program, SQL DBAs and developers said they were
"impressed" with SQL virtual database and eager to install the full version
in their production environment.
"Today I was faced with restoring a 400GB database for a bank," said Harish
Vaidyanathan, Windows and SQL Server Lead at Emerio. "Using SQL virtual
database I was able to access the required tables from the backup in less
than 10 minutes. This product is magic."
"SQL virtual database reduced the time it takes my IT department to pull
data from a backup from over two hours to just three minutes, and the
retrieved data is 100% accurate," said Darren Cumbie, Software Development
Manager at Hawkes Learning Systems. "It took a few tries to convince myself
it was real, but SQL virtual database really works. This is a great
product for any SQL DBA or developer."
"SQL virtual database works better than any object level recovery (OLR)
tool I have used to date. It's fast, easy and accurate and does much more
than OLR. I love it," said Meredith Ryan-Smith, DBA at The Bell Group.
Idera also announced a new version of its SQL safe(TM) product and a new
set of easy-to-use tools that help with everyday SQL Server tasks, SQL
toolbox(TM). To read these press releases go to
