Every Federal organization must rely on quality information for its decision making process. The major factor that affects the quality of the information produced by any application is the reliability of the database schema - the core of any database. With a poorly designed database schema, information will be suspect, corrupt, irretrievable or deadly wrong. DBE Software’s DB-Examiner provides a comprehensive set of diagnostics to help improve the quality of the database schema. Early detection of errors in the database schema will allow Federal agencies to: shorten development and maintenance cycles; more effectively comply with SOX regulations; make sound decisions based on quality information.
