DBU for SQL Server
Welcome to DBU
Data Base Unlimited (DBU) are SQL Server specialists. We concentrate on SQL Server database consulting, design and development .
DBU provides:
- Outsourced SQL design, maintenance and support — when you do not need a permanent staff of expert DBA's and SQL Server consultants in-house, this could be your economic alternative
- Specialist SQL Server services — cluster install and testing, remote clustering, log shipping setup, replication setup, reporting services, OLAP implementation, performance tuning
- Off-site replication and disaster-proofing: a full Facilities Management (FM) service for your SQL Server and OLAP processes
- Database upsizing — design, consulting and implementation, particularly Access to Microsoft SQL Server
- Project integration between mainframe or UNIX data, messaging, webs and databases
- Database conversion and optimisation
- Training on SQL Server, Exchange and other Microsoft products
We believe that as a small SQL Server specialised company we can provide a more cost-effective service for all sizes of project than most larger general purpose IT organisations. Our associate rate sheet is simple:
-
£800 per manday for short term contracts (<40 mandays)
-
£700 per manday for longer-term contracts (>40 mandays)
If you have a database related problem/opportunity, please contact us.

This site contains many code snippets and guidelines, including the needs of older code environments (including SQL7 and Access2). We hope you find them useful. The site breaks down into two main areas:
We have tried to make navigation as easy and fast as possible. The main areas are always at the top, with the left bar showing other topics at the same level (large) and children topics below (small).
