Quest Software is launching a beta program to allow Oracle developers to take advantage of the capabilities of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010. The new tool enables Oracle developers to perform offline design, development and change management in VSTS and integrate their changes into the application's automated build schedule, Quest says.Quest Software is offering an Oracle Database Schema Provider tool for the
upcoming release of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010.
The systems management vendor made the announcement at the VSLive San
Francisco conference held Feb. 23 to 27. The new tool, which will soon be
available as a beta, "provides Oracle support for VSTS, enabling Oracle
developers to fully participate with other VSTS team members throughout the
entire application life cycle," officials at Quest said in a statement.
Microsoft pulled the covers off VSTS 2010, the third generation of
Microsoft's IDE (integrated development
environment), earlier this week as part of the VSLive conference in San
Francisco.
"We see a real need in the developer community for Oracle support on
Visual Studio Team System, and are working closely with Microsoft to provide a
solution that will allow Oracle developers to work alongside other Visual
Studio Team System users," Larry Humphries, vice president and general
manager of database management at Quest Software, said in the statement.
"The release of the Database Schema Provider will bring real value to this
market, and underscores Quest Software's continued support for Oracle database
professionals."
The new tool "enables Oracle developers to perform offline design,
development and change management in VSTS, and integrate their changes into the
application's automated build schedule. This capability ensures that all
database changes are managed and tracked in the system, unifying Oracle professionals
with the rest of their organization's VSTS team," the statement said.
"We are pleased to have Quest Software supporting Visual Studio Team
System 2010," Jason Zander, general manager of Microsoft's Visual Studio
Developer Division, said in the statement. "With this forthcoming
solution, Oracle developers will be able to take full advantage of the benefits
of Visual Studio Team System."
