A Little Break
Saturday, July 29th, 2006I’m swamped with a number of things going on in real life. I’ll be starting a new job on Monday and am just not going to have the time to get a release out for a while. Apologies, check back later. Thanks.

What the heck is QB and DE you ask? Why Query Builder and Database Export of course. This release (0.18) feature enhancements to both the database export and query builder features. The database export is now capable of exporting stored procedures, views and functions. The query builder is now capable of “LIKE” comparisons and can now utilize and “ORDER BY” selection. There were also two small bugs fixed on the query builder. Enjoy, and see you next week.
Hot on the trails of the last user feedback release, here is 0.17 including another user requested feature, a query builder. It’s not very advanced as of yet, but it works. Also included is the ability to import databases as opposed to the last release which could just export. The export function was slightly tweaked but no major functionality was added. Also numerous bugs were fixed which you can read about in the SourceForge changelog if your so inclined. Enjoy, and see you next time.
This release (0.16) includes a major new feature that was requested by a user in the forum, database exporting. Also included is an updated manual. Numerous bugs and notices were cleaned up and some minor layout/design tweaks were implemented. Full changelog is available via the “note” on the SourceForge releases page. I know what your saying, “Only one new feature?”, yep, this one was a tall-order and it still is not as inclusive as I would have liked. Enjoy, and stay tuned till next week.
This (0.15) is primarily another user-feedback release. Thanks to all those in the forums who had constructive suggestions on how to improve the software. First, added the ability to edit rows from both the table select and table browse modes (assuming an identity column is present). Also, support was added for manual connection specification. Dangerous table operations via the context (right-click) menu now prompt you by default to confirm the operations unless you turn this off in the configuration file. Also the context menu for databases was modified to include a create table link. For the first time ever, a work in progress manual is included. It is availabe in the “docs” directory in “Open Office”, “Microsoft Word”, “PDF”, and “HTML” formats. Numerous bugs were fixed including broken windows detection on the login page, incorrect title on database drop page, table insertion not enforcing maximum length restriction, and an odbc.ini “present but empty” error. Also a large number of notices were fixed throughout the software if you had notices turned on. There were also a number of small cosmetic changes. Added messages stating when there are no Stored Procedures, Views or Functions on the database properties page. Fixed IE incorrectly displaying a number of table borders.
