Da Rules!

Do you have rules for SQL Development, regarding coding format, naming conventions, object sizes, max this, limits on that? Do you enforce these rules? Would you like to?

Do you have renegades in your organization, like I do, who think rules are made to be broken and flout convention at every opportunity ? Would you like to keep track of these characters for "re-education" purposes (we don't advocate using any new tools we may be producing for punishing developers)? Would you like to add buzzwords like "Governance" to your resume?

Here is a great blog that lists some good sql rules to live by

http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/archive/2006/03/14/9289.aspx

If you have rules we really want to hear about them. And we can offer some great goodies in return.

send your rules to rules@apexsql.com - the more the merrier. Based on the feedback we'll send to top rulemasters $25 worth of ApexSQL swag (includes t-shirts, cups and other stuff to be added soon). We can also include free software. If we get a lot of replies we'll send this to the top dawgs only. If response isn't so great *everyone* that submits will get a lil' somethin' somethin'.

We plan to run this for the next 30-60 days or so until we get a good rules base.

* Now remember - the goal isn't to create the best rules - as rules may very for each company and even each DBA (there IS no one size fits all). The goal is to create a large set of example rules that can be used to build an object model on that will allow companies to build THEIR OWN rules. We can provide a default rules base but the object model would form the foundation to allow customers to modify our rules base, delete rules or add to them.

Some examples:

No more than 10 columns for each table
Each table must have at least one FK relationship
Naming conventions for prefix i.e. proc_ins_AProc2Insert
Object Names must have brackets
No spaces in names
No more than 2 "_" in proc names
All tables must have a PK
PK can't have more than 3 constituent keys.
All Procs and Functions must have a comment header
Select Procs can't return more than 3 recordsets
Tables can't be more than 8060 bytes

Studio prices refactored! (and other discount news)

As of Dec 1st we've refactored some prices. If you've been waiting to purchase ApexSQL Studio - you might want to check these out.

Our discounts start at the second product purchased. We offer cross selling discounts directly from the online shop cart allowing you to mix and match your own bundles.

CROSS SELLING 30%

Add any other product to a product you have selected for purchasing in the shop cart and you'll get 30% off the second product (and all subsequent products). We have this for all Developer tools - for example if you buy ApexSQL Edit you can add ApexSQL Diff to this order at 30% off.

APEXSQL DEVELOPER STUDIO 50%

This bundle is a great way to get all of the Developer tools (Audit, Clean, Diff, Doc, Script, Edit, Clean) and pocket a sweet 50% discount.

APEXSQL UNIVERSAL STUDIO More than 50% + 1 yr Support & Upgrades + all new products released in the next 12 mos.

This bundle has all of our tools including ApexSQL Log and ApexSQL Report for more than 50% discount (52.456% or something - we just made it $1,999). We're going to throw in 1 year Free upgrades and Support and also add all new products to be released in the next year. We'll be updating the language on the purchase page shortly to reflect this.

New Price for ApexSQL Log $799

We've reduced the price of ApexSQL Log to $799 and made the discount tiers steeper. If you've been looking at the only SQL Server Auditing and Recovery tool for SQL 2005 but price has been an obstacle - give ApexSQL Log another look.

Cumulative Discounts

Are you an existing customer - we offer cumulative discounts for 1) cross selling 2) upgrades to bundles and 3) quantity discounts. We'll pull your order and credit you for past purchases. This is a good way to reward customers in the ApexSQL "family" who keep coming back to purchase more software.

For example, I had a customer add 3 licenses of ApexSQL Edit to 3 he had purchased 6 mos. earlier. This get's him to the break point of 6 so can get the new license for $297 vs $349. At component source I have to buy at the first tier each time I buy a tool. Even though I've bought Janus Grid multiple times - I never get a qty break for my subsequent purchases. Although after complaining about it last time, the phone rep gave me a $20 coupon for my next purchase! :(

We get a lot of customers who buy Diff, then Edit, then ... and get close to what they would have paid for ApexSQL Developer Studio. I've upgraded customers to ApexSQL Developer Studio for as little as $0. Technically we should have paid him $60 to upgrade due to some arbitrage opportunity - but he was happy with the fee upgrade.

When in doubt give a shout! We'll explain to you the various options over the phone.
