I have started some time ago to distribute some tools I have created to assist me in my professional life as full-time production dba/sybase migration analyst/sybase database architect.

Some are years old, others are very fresh (the last developed two days ago).  There are additional tools that I will publish in the near future.  The aim of all of the tools is to make the life of a DBA/Analyst/Architect a bit easier.  Although I do by no means claim the position of the ASE tool guru – there are other tools available out there, some pretty costly.  The tools may be of some use for those having a particular need in view and lacking an alternative.

Not to repeat myself, I provide you the link to the description of each particular tool here.

There are so far 4 tools:  1st is aimed to use/learn the MDA tables better.  2nd to create pin-pointed monitoring of an ASE server a thing for novices, 3d aimed to make parsing of Sybase Sysmon reports a bit more convenient, and the last to be able to reuse all those handy queries DBAs accumulate over years with more ease.

Below are the tools, with screen-shots  & links.

1.  ASE Monitoring (MDA) Tables Assistant

2.  A Simple Graphical Monitor for Sybase ASE

3.  ASE System Report (Sysmon) Parser

4.  ASE Frequent QueryAssistant

You are welcome to use them and post comments.

ps.  I wish to thank the hosts of the present blog for the opportunity to use it to make the tools available to a greater public.

It was my pleasure to share.

It was with a lot of trepidation when I sat down to write this post as I am a MS SQL Server DBA/PROGRAMMER by trade, experience and choice. Having started out on SQL Server 6.5 many many many years ago, I have always been loyal to the database I had come to know and trust. Please do not get me wrong, I do not plan to bash SQL Server as I still use it on a daily basis, this post is merely my take on the comparison of 2 completely different database products….  – AntonS
