Thanks to customer suggestions, pureFeat customers can now compare performance
across two different databases, record comprehensive notes for a SQL statement
in one mouse click, plus see relative percentage weights of each processing step
within Explains with the highest cost steps highlighted. A new report identifies
indexes that are harmful to performance and another report summarizes all flagged
statements across a database.

The crowned jewel of this release is a DBI innovation called "Index Benefit Analysis".
DBI pureFeat takes the recommended index output from IBM program 'db2advis' and adds enormous
value by detailing how much benefit is derived from each recommended index individually
along with how much value is lost if an index isn't created as part of the solution set.
When 'db2advis' recommends multiple indexes, DBI's Index Benefit Analysis is absolutely
invaluable because DBAs can instantly tell which indexes are the most important! And,
surprisingly, sometimes we see that some 'db2advis' recommended indexes can actually be
harmful to workload performance!

As amazing as these new functions are, they represent just a few of several improvements
in pureFeat V6.2. At pureFeat's heart are patented, award-winning technologies that
allow users to pinpoint root-cause problems in about 15 seconds, solve them in an hour
or less, and save clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in CPU's, memory, licenses,
consulting fees, and wasted time.

Scott Hayes, President and Founder of DBI Software, said "I've taught how to do Index
Benefit Analysis by hand calculations at IDUG conferences. The calculations can take
hours and are prone to error. You don't have hours to fix a performance issue when
managers are screaming and your application is failing. Remarkably, DBI pureFeat gets
this sophisticated analysis done in seconds!" When asked about
the other new features, Hayes responded "DBI customers are part of our family.
We work alongside them regularly and we treasure their suggestions. DBI pureFeat is a
toolset developed by DBAs for DBAs and is loaded with many years of real-world experience."

pureFeat™ V6.2 is a completely free upgrade for DBI Software's annual clients,
and stems from DBI's single-minded passion for proactively helping customers. This is just
one of the many reasons DBI Software has a 98% client retention rate. To learn more about
