I am working on quite a large DB based project and I like the look of a few of the power tools.

Looking through the related downloads, I found out about GDR R2, I cannot find out that much information about it - Not even sure what GDR stands for, but one thing that caught my eye -

"this release incorporates many previously released Power Tools as well as several new features"

It also says under the install section -

"Uninstall the Database Edition Power Tools if installed."

So,

  1. Does it contain all of them and a few extra features, or only a few?
  2. What does GDR stand for!?
  3. Is it worth using it over the standard power tools?

Edit -

Paul Baker's answer is great and has answered 2, along with giving me a lot of information, but I am still unclear on points 1 and 2. Does anyone know?

  • I will mark as answer if no one else responds, but I would still like to know if this includes all the powertoys or just some as I still find this very unclear. – Wil Oct 26 '09 at 19:42
  • I still haven't got an answer from anyone about the power tools, but I guess this will have to do! Thanks for your help. – Wil Oct 30 '09 at 03:20
