SAN FRANCISCO--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ Quest Software, Inc. ] (Nasdaq: QSFT) announced today at [ VSLive! San Francisco ] that it will offer an Oracle Database Schema Provider for the upcoming release of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) 2010. Quest's new tool provides Oracle support for VSTS, enabling Oracle developers to fully participate with other VSTS team members throughout the entire application lifecycle.

"We are pleased to have Quest Software supporting Visual Studio Team System 2010," said Jason Zander, general manager of Visual Studio Developer Division, Microsoft Corp. "With this forthcoming solution, Oracle developers will be able to take full advantage of the benefits of Visual Studio Team System."

Previously, Oracle professionals could not benefit from the vast improvements in communication and workflow that VSTS offers. [ Oracle development in VSTS ] was limited, involved time-consuming manual processes, and did not support the system's new offline database development and design paradigm. With Quest's new tool, VSTS can now support both Oracle and SQL Server databases.

The new Database Schema Provider enables Oracle developers to perform offline design, development and change management in VSTS, and integrate their changes into the application's automated build schedule. This capability ensures that all database changes are managed and tracked in the system, unifying Oracle professionals with the rest of their organization's VSTS team.

"We see a real need in the developer community for Oracle support on Visual Studio Team System, and are working closely with Microsoft to provide a solution that will allow Oracle developers to work alongside other Visual Studio Team System users," said Larry Humphries, vice president and general manager of database management, Quest Software. "The release of the Database Schema Provider will bring real value to this market, and underscores Quest Software's continued support for Oracle database professionals."
