Benefits: easy to set up and use, even for a novice
ChimneySweep® is easy to set up and use, even if you are not a database expert. The point-and-click “Job Editor” tool walks you through the entire process of defining a new job, step-by-step. (The same process can be used at any time thereafter to change it.)
ChimneySweep has many options, but we've automatically selected the ones that you probably want, so if you just select all of the defaults you should be fine in most cases.
Once you have set up a particular job, all the user has to do is double-click once to start it running. The job will run start-to-finish to carry out its assigned task with no further human intervention, no matter how large or small the task might be. One table or five hundred, one database or fifty, it makes no difference to ChimneySweep. (And yes, there are a great many ChimmeySweep jobs that are “that big.”)
ChimneySweep was designed by database experts, so that you don't have to be one. You don't have to give your users complicated technical explanations. All that they have to do is run the job (unless you've arranged for the job to run automatically). The job contains all the “explanation” is needed, and you can be confident that ChimneySweep will carry out your instructions precisely, each and every time.
As you will see as you continue to browse this site, there's a lot of technical sophistication in this product, but we've done our best to keep it out of sight. Instead, we remain focused upon this:
- You have a problem ...
- You want to fix it ...
- You want to prevent it from happening again.
Another subtle point bears repeating here: the true focus of this product is upon “the ounce of prevention,” not “the pound of cure!” When you discover that your database has problems, it most likely had those problems for quite some time. (You just didn’t know it yet.) It is always more difficult, and uncertain, to deal with a problem after the fact, and this is especially so if you’ve already tried other database repair tools before trying this one. ChimneySweep makes it possible for you to possibly prevent problems from occurring at all, and to detect them much more quickly when they do.
