A major new release of Visual Database Explorer is now available. This release features a restyling of the user interface to that of a more modern IDE and includes multiple feature enhancements and bug fixes:
Enhancements:
- Restyled the user interface using Windows’ Metro Light theme
- Enhanced the SQL Editor’s case correction functionality
- Added the ability to specify the case-correction style. Choices include Uppercase (default), lowercase, and title case
- The current case correction style is now applied when a SQL document is first opened
- Added the option to disable case correction
- Updated the functionality that allowed for running a portion of a SQL document. The new functionality provides a specific command to “run selection”. The command is available from the Query menu, Query toolbar, Editor toolbar, and the editor’s context menu
- Updated the Browse table functionality to control the timing of the execution and the style of SQL generated
- Added the option to generate a query that lists each field rather than a “SELECT *”
- Added the option to defer execution of a generated query. This allows the user to modify the generated SQL prior to execution
- Added the ability to right-click on a SQL Editor tab and add the query to the SQL Favorites
- Updated Favorites to save the order of the items when the application shuts down
- Updated the application help to include the new enhancements and made several typographical error corrections
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an error that caused the application to shut down when requesting the Connect to Database dialog. This issue was specific to Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 Update).
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Options Restore functionality from succeeding
