SYLVAIN FAUST INTL. SQL-Programmer IX, available Q1 1999,
delivers complete Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 support,
Microsoft SQL Server De{*filter*} and Oracle PL/SQL Profiling.

Sylvain Faust International (SFI) today announced plans for
SQL-Programmer IX, the next major release of its award-winning
client/server SQL programming tool that provides streamlined
database management and comprehensive server-side SQL code
development for Oracle, Microsoft, and Sybase servers.  Scheduled
for release in the first quarter of 1999, this new version adds
full Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 feature support, the anxiously awaited
Microsoft SQL Server De{*filter*} Module, and much expanded
Oracle8 feature support -- including PL/SQL Profiling.

SQL-Programmer IX continues to deliver the most robust
"server-side" SQL application development tool set available.

PC Week writes, "SQL-Programmer 2.VIII showed a wealth of strong
new features combined with a much improved interface.  In fact,
this product is the best SQL integrated development environment
we've seen, earning PC Week Lab's Analyst's Choice honors."
[October 26, 1998] The author, Bert Scalzo, further states that
SQL-Programmer's PL/SQL Reformatter is the best PL/SQL
code-beautification utility we have seen.

"Since its inception in 1988, Sylvain Faust International has always
prided itself in being customer-driven", said Sylvain Faust, president
and chairman of SFI.  "We monitor industry trends and adapt our products
to support the latest database releases.  Plus, we listen to our customers
and include their suggestions in product planning.  Users told us they
wanted Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 support and a SQL De{*filter*} - we listened.
SQL-Programmer IX is the result.  This new functionality not only
streamlines both the programming and SQL system management
functions, it delivers a significant return-on-investment to the
organization
in terms of time and resources."
