DataBee was a data subsetting tool for Oracle or SqlServer that would extract
referentially intact subsets and load them into other databases.
It was created by Net2000 Ltd, the same people who created one of my favorite
free tools, DDL Wizard.
Apparently, Net2000 was purchased by Redgate last September, and a phone call
with a Redgate sales creature has informed me that DataBee is not being sold or
supported anymore. Anybody know why Redgate shelved it?
Does anyone know if another equally good subsetting tool is still available
anywhere? I know oracle has a Data Masking and Subsetting pack for OEM, but
it's list price is about $11,000 per cpu. DataBee was $16K (for one seat,
which is all we need) with annual maintenance of about $3k, much more
reasonable.
