PRECISE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES INSPECT/SQL FOR ORACLE

SOFTWARE TOOL INSPECTS APPLICATIONS AND DATABASES TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCES
OF PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS

BRAINTREE, MA, February 5, 1996--Precise Software Solutions today
introduced Inspect/SQL, a software tool which allows database
administrators and applications developers to diagnose Oracle database
performance problems.

According to F. Daniel Haley, president of Precise Software, "Inspect/SQL
helps organizations improve the performance of Oracle databases and
applications by identifying the real sources of performance problems.
Inspect/SQL eliminates the guesswork and the tedious, manual,
trial-and-error processes currently employed by database administrators
(DBAs). Inspect/SQL quickly finds and graphically displays the resources
consumed by the application so that problem applications and SQL
statements can be corrected immediately. Applications developers and DBAs
can continue to use Inspect/SQL throughout the development life cycle to
optimize systems performance."

Inspect/SQL is a member of the company's Precise/SQL" suite of applications
performance tools. It examines system-level resources and targets problem
applications and SQL statements. Inspect/SQL graphically represents both
database resource consumption as well as the operating system's impact on
the databases. The innovative architecture provides high sampling rates
without performance degradation, and registers detailed consumption
information about both the UNIX operating system and database system
resources. Inspect/SQL allows DBAs to drill down to quickly target
specific applications--and even specific SQL statements--that are causing
the problem.

Customers can then model potential solutions to the problem using the
complementary Analyze/SQL tool, which can automatically generate a list of
alternate SQL statements so users can choose the alternative which offers
the greatest performance enhancement.

PLATFORMS, PRICING, AND AVAILABILITY

Inspect/SQL consists of client software running on PC clients under the
Windows 3.1, Windows `95, and OS/2 operating systems. It also consists of
server software, which runs IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, and
other popular UNIX platforms. Inspect/SQL is available immediately, and
the list price ranges from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on configuration.
Volume discounts are available, and bundled pricing is also available for
customers purchasing both Inspect/SQL and Analyze/SQL. Pricing includes 90
days of maintenance.
