Gotta like this stuff — Embarcadero Change Manager wins the Editor’s Choice award from SQL Server Magazine. The Embarcadero lineup of products is pretty sweet if you are a database developer.
I’m surprised that cell phone repeaters like this aren’t more popular. It seems to me that something like this would be very useful […]
