The patent-pending Time-Setback technology allows DBAs of SQL Server to literally rewind time and avoid disasters before they happen.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRenowned SQL expert Kimberly Tripp said in an interview earlier today: &quot;This will be a real boost for harried DBAs. All this time I&#39;ve been going on and on and on about how DBAs should have a comprehensive backup strategy to cope with disasters. Now they can just forget all of that, throw caution to the wind,&nbsp;and rely on a Time-Setback device!&quot;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked how the R&amp;D department developed the technology, a spokesman for the company said &quot;We got the idea after reading <em>Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban<\/em>, where Hermione is given a Time-Turner device from Professor Dumbledore. We figured there had to be some scientific basis for it, just like all those books that explain how Star Trek and the X-Files are based on real physics too. So, we had a crack at creating it and it worked! I&#39;m not sure the color&#39;s quite right though. Maybe we&#39;ll change that in V2. Anyway, cool eh?&quot;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA further disclosure, from a major software company, explained that it is in talks with SQLskills.com to purchase almost a thousand of the devices to hand out to developers to &quot;ensure we ship this year and don&#39;t have to change the name&quot;. The spokesman wouldn&#39;t name the product when pressed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe device will launch on April 1st, 2008, and will be available for immediate delivery. Although the company has only manufactured 4 of the devices, it will use one of them to do just-in-time manufacturing as orders stream in.
