The Report King
$45 - The Happy Mongoose Company

The Report King produces inidivualised, differentiated school reports... fast! Our software actually *writes* reports - there are no statement banks to look through. This approach significantly reduces the workload involved writing school reports.

The Report King has been specifically designed to ensure that no two reports look the same - even for children with identical abilities. This is made possible because The Report King uses an exclusive new technology - it actually understands grammar and sentence formation. Whereas other software will copy and paste the same statements over and over into your reports, The Report King actively adapts each report as it goes, focusing on different skills and areas of the curriculum for each child. It selects from a massive bank of statements, written by teachers with over twenty years of experience, and then changes verbs and adverbs, rearranges sentences (and even the order of the clauses within those sentences) to achieve the best effect. The result is thousands of different possible reports for children in exactly the same ability groups.

It's the next best thing to writing your reports by hand. Why bother finding different ways of saying the same thing, when The Report King has already thought of them all?

The Report King produces standard documents (Microsoft Word, rich text) that you can open in your word processor. If your school has a blank report format they already use, the program can even merge its statements into your reports for you, so no copying and pasting required!

*The demonstration version of the program is not time limited. You are free to create as many reports as you like - the only limitation is that you only have access to half the subject base.

Benchmark Factory for Databases Freeware
$0 - Quest Software

Benchmark Factory for Databases is a database performance and scalability testing tool for Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Sybase ASE, MySQL, and other databases using ODBC connectivity that:

? Generates load against the database by replaying production workload, running user-defined SQL scripts or using out-of-the-box industry standard benchmarks (AS3AP, TPC-C TPC-B, TPC-D, Scalable Hardware).
? Simulates concurrent users running database transactions to uncover performance bottlenecks pre-production.
? Evaluates how database code such SQL, PL/SQL, T-SQL scale under different concurrent user loads.
? Stress tests the database to determine the breaking point measuring scalability and performance.
? Compares performance test results enabling users to compare performance and scalability between database platforms, which is necessary during database migrations (SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g, etc.), database platform evaluations (Linux vs. Solaris vs. Win), and when deploying and tuning Oracle RAC.
