LONDON,
November 12, 2001 -- A new service set to slash database
support costs and make unscheduled downtime a thing of the
past was
officially launched today by Pro-DBA.com.
|
| Following
a successful six month pilot during which a select number
of business-critical databases were supported, Pro-DBA.com
is now offering its low cost support packages to businesses
worldwide. |
| For
just £750
a month, Pro-DBA.com provides a complete support solution
for any small to medium Oracle or SQL Server database, bringing

foremost database technologies within the reach of most SMEs. |

database health check report,

included in the price. |
| "Our
health checks and operational procedures have been refined
to such an extent that database
service outages are virtually unheard of amongst our clients," said Karen
Musselwhite of Pro-DBA.com today. "We thus enjoy high efficiency levels,

| Oracle Server Software Still Overpriced, Says Online Poll |
|
| LONDON,
October 1, 2001 Oracle Server Software is still too expensive
compared to rival offerings, according
to the results of an online survey carried out by Pro-DBA.com. |
| The
survey, run on Pro-DBA.com's web site, polled over 500 site
visitors to discover that 56% considered
Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) database software overpriced. Microsoft
SQL Server offers better value, according to 63% of the survey
participants. |
| The results
would no doubt disappoint Oracle, which has recently overhauled its pricing structure to protect market
share against growing competition from rival database vendors Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and IBM
(Nasdaq: IBM). |
