IBM offers a new PL/SQL IDE

Well, it’s not exactly new. It’s a product called Optim Development Studio. This product used to be called Data Studio Developer and also sometimes refered to as DB2 Data Studio.
Yes folks, IBM has joined the PL/SQL band wagon. With DB2 9.7, you can now develop PL/SQL applications that run within the database. There are limits to the support (inherited from enterprisedb) but it does support packages and plenty of Oracle syntax. I’ll have more on this in the future.
Optim can develop PL/SQL in DB2 but it can also connect to Oracle databases and explore or compile code.

Cool Tool Of The Week – Open Modelsphere: Open Source Data Modeling

From The Database Geek

I like playing with new tools and software so I thought I would start a new weekly series, Cool Tool of the Week. I will just cover a tool that I have used or discovered that I think is cool. I’m not necessarily endoring it, just giving it a little publicity so that others will know about it and can give it a try.

This week is the open source data modeling tool Open ModelSphere. This Open Source project is available for windows with a GPL license. It was originally known as SilverRun. I used this windows-based CASE tool when I was at Yale.
