Its innovative adaptive rules system adjusts itself to changing structures and dynamic usage patterns. It even teaches users to write better queries. If I were an application developer, especially if my organization were developing packages for the open market, I would seriously think about using the Teleran System in-house for development and testing. You can detect and fix inefficient database structures, especially inefficient queries, before shipping the package to the masses. This would ensure that your package is running efficiently and it would save you from the embarrassment of having your clients users telling you that your package is generating lousy, resource-squandering queries.
Administrators can verify and change the rules through a graphical user interface.
