See announcements below about JNetDirect's release of new versions compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2012.

* Note: SQL Server is a registered trademark of Microsoft Inc.

JNetDirect's Combine is a revolutionary, multifunction development, change management and code deployment tool that automates database code release processes in SQL Server environments. Combine dramatically reduces deployment time - by up to 90% - and frees database developers and administrators to focus on your organization's core data management objectives. It's simply the most advanced database deployment tool on the market.

Version 5.0, which will be released in early March, will be compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2012, and current users with Major Version Upgrade Protection support plans will receive this new release. 

"Internet Testing Systems (ITS) was impressed with JNetDirect Combine's feature set and price point and was especially interested in its ability to deploy to multiple databases simultaneously. The company was also drawn to the product's administration and security functions, which allow ITS to control who is allowed in what areas and what they are able to do, which increases the integrity of each deployment."
