Combine 5 Saves DBAs Substantial Time and Money - JNetDirect Releases New Version of Popular Package

Combine 5.0 is now fully compatible with Microsoft's new SQL Server 2012 and takes advantage of the many enhanced features provided in "Denali".

(Herndon, VA - April 17, 2012) – JNetDirect Inc., an innovative leader in software products for improving customers’ connectivity, integration, management, and security to their data resources, announced today the release of Combine 5.0.

Combine is a powerful development, change management, and code deployment tool designed to automate the development, quality assurance (QA), and production lifecycle and release process of database code for small, mid-size and very large SQL server environments.

DBAs, developers and QA engineers in hundreds of companies utilize Combine on a daily basis to:

  • Allow developers to collaborate and compose code packages;
  • Provide one-click code deployment on all databases and servers;
  • Easily pass packages between Development, QA, and Production;
  • Execute scripts and run queries on any number of databases and servers in parallel to receive unified and aggregated results;
  • Benefit from industry-leading intellisense and SQL code editing options;
  • Take advantage of the most advanced database objects scripting capabilities;
  • Use high-end automated coding templates/snippets;
  • Get support for a wide range of source code control systems.

“It is great to offer a tool which DBAs love. It saves them time, money and reduces the headaches of deployment,” stated Ron Wright, President and CEO of JNetDirect.

To quote the Data Architect at AON Benfield: “Combine is the only tool available that allows you to process scripts across multiple connections in one pass. This feature alone saves us a lot of time, which has increased our service levels because we can provide accurate and consistent rollouts time and time again.”

Combine 5 has incorporated several new features in this version to take advantage of Microsoft’s new SQL Server 2012 including:

  • Code Snippets and Templates
    Combine 5.0 contains many new built-in SQL and T-SQL code templates (also known as snippets) that cover features of SQL Server 2012.
  • Enhanced Help
    All wizards are provided with help buttons and corresponding articles. New functionality was introduced that makes document search and help by Transact SQL easier. Now you just choose the necessary instruction in the script and press ALT+F1 for Combine to find the appropriate article on the MSDN website.
  • Components of server management
    Now you don’t have to try to manage SQL Server services to find out that you don’t have access to them. Combine determines whether you can start/stop services, and based on that will turn management components on or off.
  • User Account Control and Services Management
    Service Management has been improved for systems with UAC. If necessary, Combine will ask for access permission.
  • Toolbar Drag n' Drop
    Enlarge the working area of Combine using drag n' drop for toolbar components. And to return to the panels, just click on Tools->Dock Toolbars.
  • Viewing the content of a collapsed paragraph
    Once an outlined paragraph is collapsed in the text editor, you can still view the content of the paragraph by using the mouse and hovering over the collapsed area.
  • Customizing the GUI
    Support for docking windows has been included, which refers to the action of placing a window in a dock. Undocking means that a docked window will be moved to the main editor. Auto hiding windows has been updated, allowing you can hide any window. Previously it only worked for a group of windows.

Combine is offered on a 30-Day free trial basis and is downloadable from www.jnetdirect.com.
