Ahoy! This is the last release of this autumn. Waiting to be downloaded.

Minor release 1.3.4 contains several hotfixes to 1.3.2:

• Data export wizard (suport of data filters was added)

Thanks to everyone who sent us reports with these bugs!

Yep, it’s a vacation season. And as a result we had a pause in development. But do not worry – we’re back and new DBeaver version just has been released.

So, the changelist:

• MySQL stored procedure editor
• MS SQL Server native (by Microsoft) driver added
• Terdata database driver added
• Bug fixes

Also we migrated to Eclipse 3.7. It contains many bugfixes in UI plugins but I’m afraid that it could contain a new bugs. Anyway, at the moment we didn’t find them.
And we started i18n phase – as it’ll be finished we’ll start localizations.

Have a good rest of the summer!

* Not by the Oracle sun, but by the sun sun. Closest star, you know. It is not an advertisement ;)

This minor release contains fixes of two tiny but quite nasty bugs:
1. Oracle 9i metadata browser fix (table/view lists reading was broken in 1.3.0)
2. DB2 clob/blob reading (DB2 driver doesn’t support scrollable result sets if LOB columns presents in it).

Also here are a few tips concerning DB2 driver and especially error messages:

DBeaver 1.3.0 has been released!
This version is mainly devoted to Oracle. New plugin was added to distribution. So, the changelist:

• Oracle extension:
  • Allows to browse all Oracle-specific metadata like packages, views, sequences, procedures, tablespaces, users, roles, etc
  • Fully supports XML data type, supports Object and Collection types in read-only mode
  • Supports execution plan explain
  • Manages server sessions
• Also:
  • Driver management was updated – now all drivers are “external”. JDBC drivers don’t ship with DBeaver anymore. But, as before, drivers will be atomatically downloaded on demand (e.g. when you make new connection). Or you may download drivers from official source and configure it in DBeaver manually.
  • MySQL driver performance improved
  • Ingres database driver
  • Linter database driver
  • Context help update (special thanks to Adam Peaslee for the verification and updates of product documentation)
  • Many UI updates
  • Bug fixes

New major release – DBeaver 1.2.2.
Main new feature – integrated context help system and first version of product documentation. Actually existing documentation in rough draft form, but we believe it is much better than nothing.
Brief changelist:

• Integrated help system
• SQLite drivers configuration
• SSO (Single Sign On) support for MS SQL (obviously it works only in Windows version)
• Driver manager enhancements (driver categories)
• Automatic installer for Windows 64
• And standard feature – bugfixes

Note about SQLite drivers. Three different drivers were added. You will need to choose the best one for you. Zentus driver is the oldest and most “standard” JDBC driver for SQLite. Xerial driver based on Zentus and provides some additional features. Driver written by Christian Werner provides more information about DB structure (keys, indexes) but it only works under Windows (it may work in other OSes but it requires SQLite native library and only Windows dll supplied with DBeaver – but you may build this library from sources by yourself, of course)

Note about SSO. This feature allows you to connect to MS SQL Server with your local/domain windows account. Just leave user name/password blank and connect. jTDS driver uses native libraries to implement this feature so it works only in Windows version of DBeaver. Special thanks to Adam Peaslee for idea of this feature.

DBeaver 1.2.0 major release is ready!
We made a lot of tests during last weeks and it looks quite stable.

Brief (very brief) changelist:

• Metadata editor. Supports visual edit of:
  • Tables
  • Columns
  • Unique keys
  • Foreign keys
  • Indexes
  • Views (MySQL)
• Undo/redo in all object editors
• Imporoved SQL autocompletion
• A lot of UI updates and bugfixes (especially in Linux/gtk version)

Generic driver uses subset of SQL-92 to manipulate database objects. MySQL driver uses MySQL extensions.
