With Suprtool/UX, users get the best of many worlds. Oracle users benefit from the familiar SQL syntax for Oracle selections, while users migrating from MPE can use the same commands in HP-UX as in Suprtool/MPE. Users can choose between SQL or Suprtool sort commands, using the one that gives the best performance. For example, by using Suprtool's Sort command instead of the Order By clause of SQL's Select command, users can reduce their sort times by up to 75 per cent. Because Suprtool sorts data up to four times faster than Oracle/SQL does, CPU resources are freed up for other applications. Users can, therefore, get more work done in the same amount of time.
With STExport, users can now prepare data in formats that can be imported into spreadsheets, MS Access, and Oracle, on such platforms as PCs and UNIX. In addition, STExport offers numerous formatting options. For example, users can format dates the way they like, can specify their choice of field delimiter characters, if any, and can remove trailing blanks from character data.
Suprtool/UX 3.8 is being shipped to all users who have an active support contract. The optional Oracle database access module is available now. Robelle charges the same price for all models of HP-UX processor; this one-price-fits-all policy means customers do not have to pay upgrade fees between models.
