The Leading Edge releases ODBC Agent Version 1.20 - The Standard High
Performance ODBC Productivity Tool Suite for All ODBC Developers and Users


Burlington Ontario: The Leading Edge releases version 1.20 of ODBC Agent -
a comprehensive ODBC tool for both application developers and database
users. ODBC Agent version 1.20 is the successor to very popular version
1.10 of ODBC Manager. ODBC Agent's strong UI, context sensitive help, high
performance engine and feature-rich set of error-free integrated ODBC
tools and priced very competitively at $359 (CDN) make it the defacto
standard in the domain of ODBC tool suites. 

"ODBC Agent provides an intuitive graphical insight into the manner in
which ODBC compliant applications make use of the ODBC specification, and
the manner in which ODBC Drivers handle the various ODBC API calls. It
also reveals how long it takes ODBC Drivers to execute ODBC API Calls"
said Marcam Corporation's Senior DBA, Curt Leaist. 

One of the biggest problems with ODBC to date has been identifying problems
and coherently relaying these problems to the ODBC driver developers or
ODBC Compliant application developers. The Leading Edge presents the most
sophisticated and intuitive solution to this problem", said the Director
of Development with The Leading Edge, Rick Tom. "The end result is the
most powerful ODBC compliant Query Tool, Benchmarking and ODBC API trace
facility known as 'ODBC Agent"' he added. 

ODBC technical support teams worldwide seek to benefit substantially should
current and future customers make use of this product as a problem report
utility. "We have always wanted to be able to augment our ODBC support
efforts with a very sophisticated ODBC API trace facility, capable of
intuitively revealing the ODBC API, in a manner that reveals how ODBC
compliant applications make use of the ODBC API, and most importantly how
the relevant ODBC driver handles the resultant ODBC calls", said OpenLink
Software's President, Kingsley Idehen. "Users of OpenLink ODBC Agent are
basically acquiring a resident ODBC expert, only mouse clicks away from
providing succinct information on: ODBC API execution times, the ODBC API
calling sequence which basically reveals the mindset of the ODBC compliant
application developer(s), ODBC Driver Information (Conformance levels,
Datatype support etc.)", he added quite enthusiastically.
