Enhancements

• The argument parser for Workbench specific commands has been changed in order to recognize empty values (e.g. -replaceWith=' ') Existing scripts should work, but it could be that some combinations of parameter values are not covered by my tests. So please verify that your scripts still work with the new version.
• A new option for WbExport (-replaceValues) is available to replace text (using regular expressions) in all character columns during export.

Enhancements

• For Oracle the DbExplorer will now also show OBJECT TYPEs

Bug Fixes

• When quoting column names for WbCopy's column mapping, the quoted columns where not detected properly (e.g. -columns='name/"Name", id/"Id"')
• The new "show max rows warning" option does not work for all Look & Feels. Some ignore the setting of a background color. If changing the background color is not supported the text of the result tab is now displayed in the chosen color.
• Fixed some more corner cases where the new row number display was not in sync with the result.

Bug Fixes

• The new row number display was not always in sync with the result table.
• Defined schema or catalog filters in the connection profile were not displayed correctly (even though they were stored correctly).
• Exporting only some of the columns of a result using "Save As" did not work.

Enhancements

• For DB2 the list of procedures is no long retrieved through the driver, so that functions will also be shown in the DbExplorer.
• When using a JDBC 4.0 compliant driver the table definition in the DbExplorer will now also display the IS_AUTOINCREMENT flag. (with pre-JDBC 4.0 drivers the column will always display NO)
• For SQL Server, column and table remarks that are defined through sp_addextendedproperty() are now retrieved and displayed in the DbExplorer.
• Computed/Virtual columns are now shown in a table's SQL for Firebird, H2 Database, HSQLDB 2.0, Oracle 11g, DB2 (LUW) and SQL Server 2005
• The DbExplorer will now show the (correct) source code for user defined AGGREGATEs in PostgreSQL

Bug Fixes

• The current schema and database of the DbExplorer were not always saved correctly in the workspace.

Enhancements

• When running stored procedures with parameters, the name of the parameters are now shown parameter input dialog if available. If running stored procedures with out parameters, the result tabs will be named after the parameters now (if the parameter names are available)
• The minimum version for POI (XLS export) has been raised to 3.5 in order to support Microsoft's new OfficeOpen XML Format. Therefor the naming of export types has been changed: xls still writes the old (Pre 2003) binary format, xlsx now writes the new OOXML format (Office 2007) and the (new) type xlsm writes the Office 2003 XML format (xlsm is equivalent to the previous xlsx type). To be able to use the new xlsx format, additonal libraries (apart from poi.jar) are needed: poi-ooxml.jar, dom4j-1.6.1.jar, geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec-1.0.jar, ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar and xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
• Two new options for spreadsheet export have been added. An option to turn on the auto-filter for ODS and Excel XML exports (-autoFilter). An option -fixedHeader to freeze header row which is available for all three formats. Both options are turned on by default.
• A new option has been added to highlight the result tab when the number of rows defined in the "Max. Rows" setting has been reached. (Tools -> Options -> Data display -> Show Max Rows. warning)
• A new commandline option for specifying the connection in batch mode has been added. Using -connectionProperties extended properties for the JDBC driver can be passed on the commandline. As the properties need to be specified as key value pairs the value has to be quoted, e.g. -connectionProperties='myprop=somevalue'
• A new entry to control the usage of the table's schema in an SQL export (WbExport -type=sqlinsert) has been added. This overwrites the default setting from the options dialog (Tools -> Options -> SQL Generation)

Bug Fixes

• When using "Save Data As" to export a result set, the settings for an Excel export where not saved
• Stored procedures that used a REF CURSOR as an INOUT parameter could not be executed using WbCall

Bug Fixes

• If a table with the same name existed in two schemas, the DataPumper would show the coloumns for both tables, not just the selected one.
• The option to display row numbers for results was not saved from within the options dialog

Enhancements

• For results the row numbers can now also be displayed (similar to the line numbers in the editor)
• Oracle object type columns are now displayed correctly. As this is a generic solution to display JDBC "Struct" values, it should work for any driver that returns the correct type.

Enhancements

• Integrated the JLine library to allow command line editing for console mode on Linux (and other Unix like systems).
• A new command WbListSchemas is available.
• A new option (-infoSheet=true) is available for spreadsheets exports (ods, xlsx, xls) to append an additional worksheet that contains the SQL that generated the export.
• A new option (-tableWhere="....") is available for WbExport to append a WHERE clause to all tables that are exported (e.g. WHERE modified_date > DATE '2010-01-01')
• The behaviour of the quick search for the auto-completion can now be configured. A new option "Partial match" will allow search anywhere in the listed objects (not just at the start). Another option allows to filter the displayed items according to the quick search value (instead of simply jumping to the first matching item). Alphabetic sorting of table columns can now be disabled (in that case, the columns are listed in the order as returned by the database). The new options have been moved to a separate page in the options dialog

Bug Fixes

• WbSchemaDiff reported the compared sequences as procedure-info in the diff summary
• The dialog to choose the update table for a multi-join SELECT result can now be resized
• When moving a macro from one group to another using drag and drop (instead of Cut & Paste) the change was not applied.
• When copying the data of a result set into the clipboard, the column headers were not copied when the keyboard shortcut was used.

Enhancements

• When toggling the option "Allow table altering" for the DbExplorer, this is now immediately reflected in any open DbExplorer (previously after changing the option the DbExplorer had to be closed and re-opened)
• For query results, the column comments can now also be retrieved. The column comments (if available) are then displayed in the tooltip of the result's column header. The retrieval can be enabled in Tools -> Options -> Data display -> Retrieve column remarks for queries
• WbExport can now also write a "control" file for DB2's IMPORT command (-formatFile=db2)
• A message box can now be displayed when all running scripts have been finished. If the application is minimized, displaying the message box will also restore the application's main window.

Bug Fixes

• When moving a DbExplorer away from the end, the tabs were not restored correctly when loading the workspace later.
• Some properties for SQL generation were not migrated correctly from previous versions
• Setting the editor color for datatypes changed the color for the cursor (and vice versa)
• When changing inet, macaddr or cidr columns in the result set, wrong statements were generated for PostgreSQL

Enhancements

• UTF and ISO encodings can now be entered (e.g. for WbExport or WbImport) without dashes: UTF8, UTF16, iso88591. They will be converted internally to the correct names.
• Log4J logging can also be turned on by supplying a configuration file as a parameter for workbench.log.log4j so that log4j.xml does not need to be in the directory where sqlworkbench.jar is located.
• Peter Franken contributed a Log4J integration for SQL Workbench/J. In order to use Log4j, the library log4j.jar (without a version number) must be present in the directory where sqlworkbench.jar is located. The log4j.xml must also be placed into that directory. To turn on log4j logging, the property workbench.log.log4j must be set to true (either in workbench.settings or as a system property) If log4j is used, none of the logging properties from workbench.settings will be applied. Log4j must be completely configured through log4j.xml.
• Blobs can now be exported and imported as "text values" by encoding the binary values (hex or unicode).
• sqlwbconsole.exe can now also be used to run SQL Workbench in batch mode (e.g. sqlwbconsole.exe -script=do_something.sql)
• A new menu item "File -> Close Window" is available to close the current window.
• For JDBC 4 drivers that support the SQLXML type, XML columns are now displayed directly (without the need to use casting or similar methods). Currently it seems that only Postgres and DB2 have implemented this properly in their driver.
• A new option to control the behaviour when closing a tab has been added. If "Activate the last used tab" is enabled, closing a tab will no longer select the "next" tab, but the previously used one. The new option is enabled by default.

• Result tabs, can now be re-orderd using drag and drop.
• The column definition of tables in the DbExplorer can now be edited and the approriate ALTER statement can be generated for the changes. Primary keys can be dropped and created from within the column definition.
• Tables (and other objects if the database supports this) can now be renamed from within the table list of the DbExplorer. The comment for a table can also be changed. To apply the changes a new menu option in the context menu is available to generate and run the necessary ALTER statements.
• The editor and resultset tabs can now have their own close button. (Tools -> Options -> General)
• For SQL Server 2005 and above, synonyms are now retrieved in the DbExplorer.

• Retrieving columns with type "timestamp" did not work for SQL Server.
• When adding a new column in the DbExplorer, column comments were not included.

• When assigning a keyboard shortcut to a macro, the shortcut's character would be inserted into the editor when the macro was executed.
• CHECK constraints are now reported individually in the output of WbReport and WbSchemaDiff. WbSchemaDiff has a new parameter to match check constraints by name or by expression only.
• A result name (defined using @wbresult) is now used as the header when printing the result.
• The editor can now be configured to either uses spaces or real tab characters (as before)

• When defining a new filter for a result set, the currently selected column is now pre-selected in the dropdown if no filter is defined.
• When using WbCopy's -createTarget=true, data type mappings can now be specified in workbench.settings that enhance or overwrite the data type mapping returned by the driver. Details can be found in the manual.
• Manually changed column order in the table data of the DbExplorer can now be saved. Either manually through the popup menu of the table header, or automatically through an option for the DbExplorer.
• When defining the jar library for a Look & Feel, the application now scans the libraries for the approriate classes
• Removed the limitations that DbExplorer panels must be the last tabs and cannot be the only tab.
• A new option is available to customize how external files that are loaded in an editor tab are remembered in the workspace.
• A single record dialog is now available to edit data in a result set (Data -> Single record dialog)
• A new option to control the use of uppercase keywords for the SQL formatter is available (Tools -> Options -> SQL Formatter)
