Embarcadero Technologies has announced an open beta program for a new tool, DBOptimizer:

The DB Optimizer Early Adopters Program is an open invitation for anyone to download, install, and try Embarcadero's newest product offering. Download, install, and activate and you are eligible for 20% off your first purchase of DB Optimizer. Offer expires September 30, 2008.

Greg Keller has blogged about this new beta tool:

So reflect on the name: Database (DB) Optimizer. Voila. You got it. Optimizing databases as it relates to their performance. Making them run faster and more efficiently. How? Well, by providing the DBA or developer with tools in DBOptimizer to look deeply at two specific causes of ill performance:

Bad SQL
Atrocious wait times in the database.

So, to combat those two issues above, DBOptimizer is built on two core pieces of functionality: Sophisticated tuning of SQL and SQL Profiling for analyzing wait times and bottlenecks. It is, as developers in the Java and C++ camps had for time ad infinitum, a true profiler.
