SQuirreL SQL Client Change Log ============================== 3.2.

0 (11/21/2010) ================== Enhancements: Updated Translations: - Chinese (Thanks to xpdz) - French (Thanks to Erwan DUROSELLE) SQL Scripts Plugin: New preference that allows to choose the escape string for new lines. See Glob al Preferences --> Tab SQL Scripts (See patch #3079664 by Paul Wagland) Hibernate Plugin: - New handling of limiting object count for HQL queries. This may prevent seve re performance problems. Formerly the limit was set more or less under the hood (SQL limit was used). Setting the limit can cause the performance problems. - Hibernate session can now be started in an external process. This can keep SQuirreL from running into memory problems when working with t he Hibernate Plugin. See Hibernate configuration panel for details. Introduced a new general data type property 'Use column labels instead of column names in result headers'. See Global Preferences --> Tab 'Data Type Controls'. Will be useful e.g. for MyS QL if Aliases are used in Select clauses. Session Property: "Keep SQL result table layout on rerun SQL" If this option is checked the layout of the table of a SQL result is tried to be restored after rerunning the SQL. Note: You rerun an SQL statement when you click the running man button on the up per left of a SQL result. New way to view query results: There is a new tab inside a query result named "O verview". It might need some trying out to understand what it does. Incorporated patch which provides a node in the object tree called LOB which lis ts all LOBs, providing details about each (Thanks to Bogdan Cristian Paulon) Incorporated patch which provides a node under each table in the object tree tha t lists all of the constraints for that table. (Thanks to Bogdan Cristian Paulon) Netezza Plugin: Added support for displaying external tables in the object tree. SQuirreL SQL Client is now built, tested and released with Maven. Bug-fixes: 2693968: The "Load columns in background" setting (session properties -> SQL tab ) is lost through restarts. 3085119: NullPointerException when adding tables to graph.

3088284: CSV export doesn't escape quotes. Thanks to wolfgang22 for the patch. 3086444: Date/Time/Timestamp types did not display right after application resta rt when others than standard formats were chosen in Global Prefs. (See patch 3087989) 2998121: (Update doesn't work, settings seem correct). Now, if the local releas e.xml file is not found the error dialog states as the cause, rather than merely s aying the release.xml file couldn't be downloaded. 2991971: RSyntax text editor ignores font settings 2992443: Cannot use RSyntax or Netbeans editors 2973045: Export to excel results in strange rounding; Thanks to Bogdan Cristian Paulon for the patch 1808038: Splash screen was always on top hiding all other windows behind it Popup-Menu for adding or removing driver specific properties didn't appear in dr iver properties tab of alias properties on Win XP. (See patch 3083166) Double click in Alias tree always opened the selected Alias even if the mouse po inter wasn't placed on the Alias. This way Aliases where opened when tree nodes where quickly closed or opened. RSyntax editor: Replace dialog: Replace button now does a find next after replac ing. Fixed problem with sorting after dragging columns Button sizes differed in Alias and Driver docking frame Hibernate plugin: Icon buttons for connecting and opening configuration could be very small. Firebird Manger Plugin: Removed dialog (that pointed out missing Firebird driver ) from startup routines. Fixed Alias Properties not showing when drivers getPropertyInfo() fails. Behavio r has been seen with Oracle driver. RSyntax: Turned off drag and drop inside the editor. It conflicted with our drag and drop feature for files and caused editor texts to vanish. See bug #3006 515. RSyntax: When code reformatting was used on Windows, carriage return chars (\r) where inserted in the editor. These chars made keyboard arrow keys fail: If you stepped over an \r the key hit did nothing. Parser could be triggered far to often which resulted in high CPU and memory loa d. This problem was caused by redundant carriage return chars (\r). Any redundant carriage return chars (\r) are removed from files. On Win Platforms carriage return line feeds (\r\n) are kept for new lines. 3.1.1 (4/24/2010) ================ Enhancements:

Code completion Plugin: - Users may choose to see column remarks in completion lists. See Menu File --> New Session Properties --> Code Completion --> Checkbox an bottom of panel Hibernate Plugin: - Results of HQL Queries can be displayed as objects - Hibernate logs can be seen in SQuirreL logs when Hibernate logging is config ured for console output. Bug-Fixes: 2991709: Quotes missing in squirrel-sql.bat 2990527: nChar() is unknown field 2982594 / 2988387: RSyntax editor crash When database errors occured while loading table columns, SQuirreL slowed down a nd produced a lot of log messages. 2981691 / 2981694: squirrel-sql.bat fails on Windows 7 64 bit 2980873: squirrel-sql.bat doesn't work out of box 2978540: Identifiers starting with '_' where not handled as identifiers by the R Syntax lexer. This resulted in syntax coloring and completion problems. 2974533: Informix: Method can be called only once. / ErrorCode: -79 2965617: Fail to open session with RSyntax editor 2963371: Splash on 3.1 - copyright (was not updated for 2010)

3.1 (3/3/2010) ================ Enhancements: Updated Translations: - Korean (Thanks to Youngwoo Kim) - Chinese (Thanks to xpdz) - French (Thanks to Erwan DUROSELLE) Improved display of SQL result metadata Hibernate Plugin: The Classpath configuration now allows to move entries up or down. New plugin for Netezza NPS database server. This plugin allows for viewing sour ce and details of Views, Stored Procedures, and synonyms. It also provides the ability to execute stored procedures in the SQL Editor. See Help for screenshots and more details. Aliases now have the ability to setup a keep-alive SQL statement and sleep time (in seconds) to prevent a connection from being disconnected while appearing to be idle. This is done usi ng the new Connection tab on the Alias properties dialog. Derby Plugin: New tab to display the source code of Derby stored procedures Thanks to Glenn (bassnfool2) for the patch (Patch ID 2907220)

XML Export: Tables in SQuirreL's GUI now allow to export data as XML (besides CSV and MS-Ex cel export) Thanks to mironsadziak for the patch (Patch ID 2905595) New editor component: RSyntaxTextArea by fifesoft.com. New features: - No long line problems - Enhanced search functions: shift F3: Find selected. F3: Repeat last find. control shift F3: Mark selected. escape: Unmark all. - Line numbers can be displayed - Current line can be highlighted Note: On MS-Windows systems the Java-VM parameter -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true mu st be set in your SQUirreL start batch to prevent performance problems. - New Polish translation available (Thanks to Miron Sadziak) Better table header rendering for MAC OS Thanks for Brian Mauter's Patch (ID 2856103) Feature request 2826175: Number of rows read is now visible on message panel and results tab. Feature request 1656320: Background Color Configuration is now available via a new tab ("Color Properti es") in Alias Properties dialog. MySQL Plugin Fixed object tree menu items: * Create database (on root node) * Drop database (on catalog nodes) * Rename (on table nodes) SQL Scripts Plugin: New checkbox 'Use double quotes (") for qualifying' in global scripting prefere nces. Feature Request #2818444: Oracle: Connecting as SYS not possible - now it is po ssible to add the necessary driver property to connect as SYS, or any other account that needs to connect as SYSDBA. Look & Feel Plugin - Better support for Nimbus: No horizontal scrollbars on pop up lists (e.g. cod e completion) - Removed choices for Metouia and OYOAHA as these are not supported for use in Java 6. Oracle Plugin - SQL*Loader control file generation. Adds a new right mouse menu item to tables in the object tree: "Generate SQL* Loader control file" Thanks to Jos David Moreno Jurez for the patch (Patch ID 2776344)

About dialog now has a clickable link to our home page. - Thanks to Hashim Kubba for this patch (ID 2104309) Graph Plugin: - Show constraint name can be selected on each constraint separately. See right mouse menu on constraint line. - Allowed constraints to be created using drag and drop. To create such a non-DB constraint using drag and drop hold down the control key. Then right click the constraint to configure it. Bug-Fixes: SQuirreL was seen consuming a lot of memory and CPU. For details about the fix see comments in class ExitParserThreadRequestExceptio n See: http://squirrel-sql.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrel-sql/sql12/app/src/ net/sourceforge/squirrel_sql/client/session/parser/kernel/ExitParserThreadReques tException.java?view=log Loading and saving files on Windows produced multiple CR (carriage return) chars in files. When copy and paste was used on such files multiple empty lines were created. Note: The Windows standard editor Notepad shows multiple CR chars where they exi st and allows to remove them. SQuirreL does not remove them automatically at any place. Moved focus to SQL Editor when it gets visible through previous Session / next S ession navigation (Alt left/right) Fixed class not found exception in Oracle Plugin when setting Session Time Zone. Thanks to Neville Rowe 2946165: 2946160: 2944128: 2942351: 2927576: 2913463: 2908407: 2891190: 2879711: preferences messages not translatable translation missing in refactoring remote not translatable Program doesn't launch NPE at Copy as SQL INSERT-VALUES Problems with system classpath with quotes MSSQL driver plugin example URL isn't correct block comment content produces error Fix for Excel date export concerning dates earlier than 1900-03-01. Thanks to mironsadziak for the patch (Patch ID 2905218) 2853329: Ctrl-S overwrites existing file on 2nd try 2819161: squirrel-sql.sh in plain zip had an errant apostrophe. Tested this fi x on MacOS 10 and Ubuntu 9.04. Thanks to Jonathan James for vetting the anonymously submitted patch. 2818117 ("Make Editable" uses column label instead of name) Thanks to Christian Gruenberg for the patch (Patch ID 2924887) 2801011: Sybase (CREATE TABLE script generate decimal(15,2) instead of (15,4)) 2794860: Sybase (CREATE TABLE script generate numeric(15) instead (15,2)) 2754166: SQLScript plugin loses precision for Timestamp in H2 2746982: Error occured in IPlugin.sessionEnded() for SQL Parametrisation 2713952: Create table script (on Sybase): Always generate "datetime" type for "d ate" (and datetime) 2657987: Session was closed even if session closing confirm dialog was not confi rmed. Connection was not closed then.

ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception occured when more than one Alias was deleted for m Alias tree Fixed startup error: java.lang.NullPointerException at ... .AliasFolderState.applyExpansionAndSelectionToNode(AliasFolderState.java :144) Error in Alias tree: Alias vanished or gave an error when dragged on itself. SQL Scripts Plugin: - Several scripting functions did not respect global scripting preferences abou t qualifying tables. - When generating insert scripts from a SQL statement the global preference "Qualify table names in generated scripts with the schema name" di d not work. Thanks to Johann Geyer for the patch (Patch ID 2365193) - Generating data scripts may throw java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException w hen timestamps where scripted - Foreign key constraints with more than one column were not scripted correctly . (Only first column was included.) Schema caching: Removed problems with selective schema caching when the same table name exisits in two different schemas. E.g. column completion didn't word anymore. Stored Procedures that return a mix of update counts and results sets weren't di splayed properly. 3.0.1 (3/23/2009) ================ Enhancements: - New Korean translation available (Thanks to Youngwoo Kim) Bug-Fixes: 2686268: OS X Look and Feel is Incorrect 2645286: Quotes missing in squirrel-sql.sh (Thanks to mdykierek for the patch) 2531193: Oracle create table script the "ON UPDATE" is wrong 2644778: "Contents Tab SQL filter" and "Limit cell edit WHERE clause size" dialo gs didn't work Other reported bug-fixes: - Fixed UI freeze issue which sometimes occurred when using software update fea ture. - Better support for PointBase 5.7 - Fixed bug which caused NullPointerException in Refactoring when modifying col umn types - Fixed bug which occurred when generating FK SQL for DB2 where the update and delete action clause result in syntax error for certain standard constraint actions.

- Fixed the case of the install directory (java -> Java) to match the case of t he directory created by the installer. - NullPointerException occured when last tab was closed - Fixed several problems when Schemas where cached. For example, "Contents Tab SQL filter" and "Limit cell edit WHERE clause size" dialogs did not open. - Fixed a problem where when certain windows were closed (for example, the Sess ion Properties window) the first tab was always selected 3.0 (2/21/2009) ============== Enhancements: Dataimport Plugin: * SuggestColumns: if columns in database and in the first line of the file are equal, they are matched for the import. Sybase Plugin: * New ExceptionFormatter for SQLWarnings: better viewing warnings while the pa rameter showplan is on (set showplan on) Look an Feel Plugin: * Made Nimbus look and feel available (needs at least JDK/JRE 1.6.0_10) * Made Metal look and feel with Ocean theme the default (used at first start u p). * Added warning message that look and feels other than Metal may cause perfoma nce and/or functional problems Updated Italian translation (Ivo Neri), Chinese translation (xpdz), French trans lation (Erwan Duroselle) New user interface layout: Tabbed layout Hibernate Plugin: - Cleaned up details display in mapped objects tab: Now every tree node displ ays an appropriate details table. - Added hint to solve StackOverflowError caused by logging that may occur whe n connecting to a Hibernate configuration. Object tree search (Feature request 2004240): Above the Object tree is a text field and a find button. The search string has to be the exact simple (unqualified) name of an DB obje ct or may contain placeholders ("%" or "_"). The text field supports code completion. A filter button allows to apply the search string as Object tree filter. Object tree filtering: Multiple (comma separated) Object tree filters can be defined. Filter conditi ons can be excluding oder including. Better support for placeholders "%" and "_". See "Session Properties"/"New Session Properties" dialogs --> Tab "Object Tre

e". Graph Plugin: - Qualified table names can now be displayed. Use the right mouse menu on graph background. Edit Extras Plugin: - Improved handling and look of Escape date dialog. Graph Plugin: - New entries in table's popup menu: "Copy table name" and "Copy qualified tabl e name". - Columns of all tables in a graph can now be ordered at once. Use the right mo use menu on graph background. New Plugin: Smarttools by Michael Romankiewicz - Searching for tables that do not have a primary key or unique index or index . - Searching for non nullable columns that contain null values. Some DBs e.g. F irebird can be tricked to have this inconsistency. - Changing values database wide according to specified criteria. For more information see the Plugin's help. New Plugin: Firebird Manager by Michael Romankiewicz - Storing and restoring Firebird DBs - Managing users and roles for the Firebird RDBMS For more information see the Plugin's help. - Aliases can be displayed as list or as tree. - A new preference for choosing Locales is available in Global Preferences -> G eneral tab. This allows you to set your preferred locale, and if an optional translation is installed that c orresponds with the preferred locale, then restart and the changes take effect.(No longer necessary to hand edit the start script) - Copy as "SQL WHERE" / "UPDATE-SET" / "INSERT-VALUES" statement function in ta bles Tables offer right mouse menu to copy WHERE, UPDATE-SET or INSERT-VALUES clau ses of selected data to clip board. Works like the existing "Copy as SQL IN statement" function. - New Plugin: SQLReplace by Dieter Engelhardt This plugin replaces a set of variables before a statement is executed. The variables to replace can be defined at the Plugin's Global Preferences ta b. - Added a preference option to allow the selection of items in lists to change while activating the popup menu on a single right-mouse button click. For example, without th is, you need to select an object in the tree with a left mouse button click, then press the r ight mouse button to activate the popup menu.(See Global Preferences -> General -> Select On Ri ght Mouse Click) Data Import Plugin: It now warns the user when importing data into an existing t able, that it's current data

will be truncated first. DBCopy Plugin: - Added support for mapping the DISTINCT source column type for copying data fr om PostgreSQL DB2 Plugin: Lars Heller provided a patch to add support for XML column types in SQuirreL via the DB2 Plugin (tested against DB2 v9.5 LUW) Oracle Plugin: - Added validity (VALID INVALID) field to trigger details tab for triggers. - Allow the user to configure whether or not to show the syntax error offset in the SQL Editor. This feature creates a user-defined function called SQUIRREL_GET_ERROR_OFFSET, which can be disabled. - Added ability to recognize "create package" and "create package body" stateme nts. PostgreSQL Plugin: - Added support for PostgreSQL(8.3.x) new XML type. Contributions from Daniel Regli and Yannick Winiger: - Menu: added a new "PostgreSQL" menu to the object tree and the session menu f or PostgreSQL-specific functionalities. - Vacuum: added visual (dialog) support for the PostgreSQL-specific VACUUM stat ement for garbage-collecting a selection of tables or the whole database. - Explain: added an additional SQLResultExecuter to the sql panel that shows the query plan of executed statements. Refactoring Plugin: - Fixed bug which caused column comment alter statement to be generated even wh en no column column change was made. - Don't try to order the list of tables to be dropped (forcing FK info retrieva l) when there is only one table being dropped. - Contributions from Daniel Regli and Yannick Winiger: Added new Refactorings (All new refactoring dialogs can now be closed with th e ESCAPE key): - Rename Table - Add/Rename/Drop View - Add/Modify/Drop Sequence - Add/Drop Index - Add/Drop Foreign Key - Add/Drop Unique Constraint - Add Lookup Table - Add Auto Increment - Merge Column - Merge Table - Refactoring, scripting for Intersystems Cache DB: Made Refactoring and scripting functions available for the Intersystems Cache DB by activating its Hibernate dialect.

Bug-Fixes: SQL Replace Plugin: Fixed a bug that caused patterns such as $P{startDate} to th row an exception. Add/Edit Alias window did not resize properly SQL Scripts Plugin: On some DBs (e.g. MySQL) "Store result of SQL in table" did not work for SQLs that returned a lot of rows. Graph Plugin: Table's right mouse menu "Add Parent tables" did add a parent more than once when more than one foreign key to the parent existed. Graph Plugin: Refresh didn't work for newly created constraints Fixed several bugs which made it impossible to work with SQLite. Fixed a bug which made it difficult to see text that was being edited in a table . 2609090: Auto update fails if "empty" change list is validated 2480365: Plugin loading fails when installdir has spaces 2220792: SQLite: content not editable 2184379: (SQuirrel client 2.6.6 fills up 52 gigs of log file space). Added a ne w log appender that is based on file size rather than time. 2119937: Windows EOL chars (CRLF) are converted to Linux EOL (LF). 2104422: Fixed some potential bugs (Thanks to Hashim Kubba) 2102894: Missing Scale Placeholder in Sql server dialect. This causes script ge neration and dbcopy targeting MS-SQL server to produce decimal columns without the scale attribute ( that is, decimal(7) instead of decimal(7,5)) 2092902: Focus remains on hidden session window for Alt-Arrow. Removed code whi ch was a work-around for a bug in java 1.3, that has since been fixed and was actually pr oducing a bug seen in java5 and java6, where the Alt-RightArrow key shortcut switched sess ion windows into the foreground without giving them focus. Thanks goes to Johnathan James f or the bug-fix. 2091569: FAQ is missing its images 2049336: Make Editable disappear from SQL/results tab 2018512: DB2 timestamps still don't work when milliseconds are zero. Patch submi tted by Daniel Strnger. 2018018: (Bug in FormatSql function) Formatter now uses platform-specific EOL ch

ar sequence. 2013346: export csv with option "carriage return + linefeed" 1995728: Unable to switch database 1958881: (Unable to see source of database views) Adjusted the query for view s ource to use underlying system tables instead of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS, since this view ca nnot handle views that are greater than 4000 characters. 1968807: Unsigned INT problem with IMPORT FILE functionality 1968270: Displaying unsigned INT as signed INT in column 1845987: PostgreSQL interval types are not displayed 1840266: Create Table Script sets varchar columns to 8000 1830649: Focus Loss 1824534: Constraint created twice 1902611: (Oracle) Don't fail on SQL-Plus "SET ..." commands in SQL script; Now, the Oracle plugin skips over them. 1876352: (DB2) Incorrect TIMESTAMP in create data script (loss of precision - n anosecond component - also affected other databases. 1861402: (Informix catalog switching doesn't work correctly) - Better catalog switching behavior for databases that support catalogs. Now i f a connection is made without specifying the catalog, a place-holder catalog ("None") is inserted into the catalog drop-down menu and removed once a catalog is selected. - Fixed a race condition that caused the tree to be refreshed before data was r efreshed from the database when the catalog was switched. - For Informix, setCatalog seems to have no effect, so now an explicit DATABASE <catalog name> command is issued. 1848924: Sybase object browser contents not displayed 1769599: fix for permission problem with Windows Vista. Now we create our tempo rary path file in a temporary location that the user should always be able to write to. Thanks to user aberde en61 for contributing the fix. 1596240: Fixed bug when displaying HSQLDB->Objects->Content, where contents are not shown and exceptions are thrown because tables are not being qualified with the schema name. 1541325: (Derby) Connection doesn't close when ending session - thanks goes to A lex Pivovarov for the patch that fixed the issue.

Bug-Fix for bug that caused Frontbase indexes not to be displayed in the indexes tab, for tables in the Object tree. Fixed identifier qualification in Progress - tested on OpenEdge 10.1C. Now only schema is pre-fixed to identifiers, instead of catalog and schema. Code Completion Plugin: - Made column completion available for databases/JDBC drivers that support cata logs and/or schemas but don't provide catalog or schemas in their column meta data. For example s ome versions of MySQL show this behavior. DBCopy Plugin: - Only attempt to order the tables being copied if there is more than one table in the copy set. Changing to another window using Alt + left/right arrow did not properly set foc us. Hibernate Plugin: - Class names in completion list could change from fully qualified to simple while scrolling through the completion list. - Fixed identifier qualification in Progress - tested on OpenEdge 10.1C. Now only schema is pre-fixed to identifiers, instead of catalog and schema. When a statement like "from Kv k where k." was completed the fields for k. wo uld come from any arbitrary mapped class which name started with Kv Refactoring Plugin: When generating DROP TABLE statements, Frontbase requires CASCADE or RESTRICT. Now we append CASCADE to the DROP TABLE statement. 1830649: 1820792: 1821354: 1820214: 1820020: 1815667: Focus Loss Sybase ASE - table not shown in object browser Changing default value of a column in Derby does nothing 2.5.1 DB aliases do not transfer properly to 2.6.1 modified tables aren't sorted Create Table Script does not include column defaults

Syntax Plugin: Fixed memory leak which caused sessions not to be garbage collected. Bug-fix for plugin unloading where unloading a session plugin did not prevent it from binding to new sessions. 2.6.1 (10/24/2007) ============== Bug-Fixes: 1818446: Packaging problem in v2.6 on MacOS X 1805954: Tables not in alpha order in Object view 2.6 (10/20/2007) ============== Enhancements:

New Plugin (Hibernate) - allows to generate SQL statements from Hibernate HQL statements - shows object tree of mapped objects - HQL Code completion and syntax highlighting - Three ways to create a HibernateSessionFactory * Native way using "new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();" * JPA way using "Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("<persitence-unit n ame>");" * User defined way to by calling a user defined provider method. See help for further details. Improved speed at which large files are loaded into import popup for CLOB/VARCHAR cells. Added basic drag-n-drop to transfer a file from the desktop into an SQL Editor panel. New Plugin (SQL Parametrisation - Thorsten Mrell) allows you to put variables into your SQL statements. New Plugin (Data import - Thorsten Mrell) allows you to import arbitrary files into the database. DBCopy Plugin: - Copy thread will wait for the dialog record progress bar to be updated before continuing to copy records. - Fixed bug which caused cursors to remain open in the source database after the copy operation was complete. DB2 Plugin: - Added tab for displaying the source code for DB2 MQTs as well as DB2 tables. - Added support for OS/400 (trigger source and details not yet implemented). Special thanks goes to Tilmann Brenk for submitting OS/400 versions of all SQ L statements required to support the plugin features. - Added support for showing user-defined functions in the object tree and the source code that is associated with them if it is available. - Exceptions from DB2 Universal JDBC driver are now interpreted as DB2Diagnoseable exceptions so that the cause of the exception can be printed (Thanks to Christoph Schmitz). - When the source tab of a C-language stored procedure is selected, we now show the user a nice informative message stating that the source code is unavailable instead of merely displaying the word "null". Code Completion Plugin: When Ctrl+Space is hit while completion popup is already open the prefix up to where all completion candidates match will be written to the SQL editor. The completion popup will remain open. Derby Plugin: New custom QueryTokenizer which allows Derby sessions to give the command: run '<abs-path-to-script>' This reads in the file and executes it's statements. This is supported in Derby's own ij command-line interpreter. Firebird Plugin: Added triggers node for each table to display triggers. Informix Plugin:

- 1732161: Fixed Source code of procedures and triggers to work with Informix version 7.3.1 - When executing an SQL statement with a syntax error, the driver is now asked to provide the position of the error in the statement. If it is available, the cursor is moved to the position of the incorrect syntax. LAF Plugin: Added Substance 4.0 look and feel as an option. MySQL Plugin: - Added support for handling stored procedure create statements. - Added source tab for Stored Procedures, Triggers and Views. Triggers are displayed as object nodes beneath tables as is done in other plugins. Oracle Plugin: - 1446678 (SQL Error Help) Added capability to put the cursor at the position in the SQL where the statement failed. - 890843, 1787653: Added support Oracle's SYS.XMLTYPE column. - Warning message is displayed if string literal timestamp setting is used for internal where clauses - this setting may result in the inability to edit tables. - (Feature Request 1735530: Hide Oracle Bin$.....==$0 tables ) Added configuration for removing the Recycle Bin tables from the object tree. - Show the source for Oracle tables, as well as materialized views. - Added additional query tokenization pass to find begin...end;/ type anonymous procedures. PostgreSQL Plugin: - Added database locks display tab for PostgreSQL sessions. Click on the top node in the object tree and look for a "Locks" tab. Code was adapted from Rocc o Rutte's tab of the same name and purpose in the EclipseSQL project. Refactoring Plugin: - Fixed problem where the comment of a column could not be altered if it was null. - Refactored drop tables command to not use the event dispatch thread for calculating foreign keys(UI Responsiveness). Also, now FKs in child tables are dropped before any parent tables are dropped when cascade constraints is selected. SQLScripts Plugin: Now uses types generated by Hibernate dialects for create table script feature. Also, it now uses the session query tokenizer. Sybase Plugin: Added new trigger and index nodes beneath tables in the tree. Also, added trigger source tab for triggers. Patch 1761706 (Miscellaneous Java 5 Generics) submitted by Bron Eubanks Task 138098 (Plugins Session Menu Items (Disable)) When using a session that is not supported by a db-specific plugin, that plugin should disable it's Session menu items Task 137959 (Refactor PreferencesManager) removed redundant plugin class definitions related to Preferences which were very similar. - Added unload button to plugin summary dialog which will cause the selected plugin to be unloaded.

- Added support for setting whether or not plugins are loaded at startup (without physically removing them), using the plugin summary dialog. You must restart SQuirreL for plugin change to take effect. - Added 'Use PK' button on the "Edit Where clause" dialog which will cause only PK columns to be used for updating rows in the table contents panel. - Added "All Objects" to alias properties. - Use the last directory that a file was imported from when importing additional files for binary fields. 1757076: (DATE column seen as TIMESTAMP, update in editable mode fails) Changed the default of "Read Date as Timestamp" to false. This setting breaks editing dates on Derby. 1743720: (Save settings immediately, not only when closing SQuirreL). Now there is a setting in Global Preferences to "Save Preferences Immediately" (Default is true) Additionally, if this is not desired and it can be disabled to give the old behavior (faster), and a new menu item under "File" called "Save Preferences " is available to immediately save everything that is normally saved during shutdown. 1742033: (Skipping quoting escape in table dropping) Refactoring plugin drop table functionality now handles tables with embedded double quotes by doubling the double quotes to allow the database to recognize the doubled quote as a single quote which is part of the identifier. Thanks goes to Thomas Mueller (from www.h2database.com) for contributing code to fix the issue) 1731251: (Cryptic exceptions with DB2 JCC driver) Provides an API to allow plugin authors to create and register custom exception formatters to be used when displaying error messages and the like in the session message panel. Updated French translation (Thanks to Erwan Duroselle) Finished German translation Bug-Fixes: Statements like "SELECT TestTab.testid, TestTab.testname FROM TestTab" were not editable. Fixed bug in CodeReformator which is exposed when the statement separator is " ". Also, made formatted source tab able to handle this type of problem more gracefully by showing the source in it's original form, instead of nothing at all. Goto line dialog (ctrl+g) was missing labels. 1752089 (ConcurrentModificationException raised when loading schema) 1716859 Can't see data in content tab or row count tab (MS SQLServer databases with a dash ("-") in their name would cause the content tab or row count tabs to render no data. 1714476 (DB copy uses wrong case for table names) The copy operation would sometimes fail to select records from the source table. Since the case for the source table is always known to be correct, the plugin no longer erroneously attempts to correct the case.

1714475: (Adding rows from the content tab) When inserting row data, pay attention to isAutoIncrement flag so that these columns are excluded like rowId columns. After insert, refresh the table data so that auto-generated fields are populated. 1704798 ISQLExecutionListeners cannot return "null" 1701380 addSQLExecutionListener is broken 1700093 Formatter fails for insert script with multiple sub-selects 1699294 Squirrel imports BLOB, but does not update data 138092 (PostgreSQL table types) Now PostgreSQL table types list and object tree exclude "SYSTEM INDEX" type. Treating these objects as tables causes lots of SQLExceptions from the PostgreSQL jdbc driver. Refactoring Plugin: - When building a new TableColumnInfo, if the defaultValue textfield is blank, then make the default value be null. Task 137984 (Bug in alias delete) The problem was that notifications were being sent to the alias drop-down that the item was being deleted which triggered an update and new selection forcing the connect to alias window to be launched. Now, the alias drop down is disabled while the update is happening and enabled immediately afterward. Fixed a bug that occurred when no plugin installs a custom QueryTokenizer in a Session - changing the session properties for query tokenizing has no effect. Fixed bug which appeared while editing tables in PostgreSQL 8.1. If the table was created without an OID column, the last column would not be editable. Fix for issue where dates aren't correctly displayed or updated when using 'treat date as timestamp' pref in the SQl Editor result panel. 2.5 (4/7/2007) ============== Enhancements: Updated Updated Updated Updated Czech translation (Thanks to Jan Kostrhun) Simplified Chinese translation (Thanks to xpdz) French translation (Thanks to Erwan Duroselle) Italian translation strings (Thanks to Ivo Neri)

- When the user control-clicks on an identifier in the SQL editor it takes you will show that object in the object tree (Same behavior as Ctrl-b). - Dialog prompt to save file changes on exit, now includes the filename in case there are multiple open files in different sessions. Also, the session alias name appears in the title, in case the editor contents aren't yet associated with a file. - SQL history window The contents of the SQL history combo box can now be opened in a window where the user can search for formerly excuted statements. The history is available through a button next to the SQL history combo box or through

tools pop up (ctrl+t). - Export: Warn the user when exporting data to CSV/Excel if there are Clob placeholders (<Clob>) in the table data being exported. Also, let the user know when the export to file is complete, if no command is to be executed to show the exported file. - 'Delete Records' action now orders the selected tables in order to satisfy any FK dependencies. Previously, this operation would fail if PK tables preceded (by name alphabetically) FK tables in the object tree list. - Certain plugins (Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL-Server) now have configuration tabs (in Global Preferences) to allow for configuration of the statement separator for scripts independently from the Session properties configuration. For example, this means that now when you switch between session windows that use different statement separators (Oracle = ';' / Sybase = 'GO'), you no longer have to change the global statement separator for all sessions to get the correct one for script execution. As long as you have the plugin installed which corresponds to the type of database that a session is accessing, a reasonable default is supplied to make this configuration unnecessary in most cases. - Added better support for executing large scripts (by default, a script is considered large if it has > 200 SQL statements selected for execution in the script). Now, only one message is written in the message panel at the bottom of the session window at the end of running many statements summarizing the details of execution (timing, statement type and count, etc). The message "SQL Statement x of y <some sql...>" is still displayed in the results panel t o indicate progress. Also, the history bar isn't updated during large script execution. The "200 SQL statement" default is configurable in Global Preferences under 'SQL' tab and all of this new functionality can be disabled by using '0' (zero) as the value of large script statement count. This dramatically improves UI responsiveness for large scripts (especially those with statement counts in the thousands) and makes it possible to cancel the execution using the cancel button - which is otherwise effectively disabled while the UI attempts to keep up with all of the UI updates in a large script. New Plugins for H2, PostgreSQL and DB2 These plugins provide source tabs for stored procedures, views and trigg ers. They also provide details tab for sequences and triggers New Plugin for Sybase ASE by Ken McCullough The plugin allows to script the code of Views and Stored Procedures of t he Sybase ASE DB. Code Completion: - The number of table columns that should be displayed on top of the completion list when completion is called outside of the scope of a table/view is now configurable in code completion properties. Edit Extras: - New formatting action - remove newlines. This is useful when copying SQL from console windows that insert end-of-line characters when copying. Refactoring Plugin - Added support for modifying the column type from varchar2 -> clob and clob -> varchar2 (which isn't directly supported by Oracle's column modify

alter statement). - 'Drop Tables' action now orders the selected tables in order to satisfy any FK dependencies. Previously, this operation would fail if PK tables preceded (by name alphabetically) FK tables in the object tree list. SQL Scripts Plugin - Now when selecting 'Create Data Script', the insert statements created are ordered by the first column. Oracle Plugin - Added configuration panel for Oracle plugin in Global Preferences to allow configuration of new custom Oracle query tokenizer. - Added support for executing create procedure, create function and create trigger blocks delimited by a single "/" such as is supported in SQL-Plus. Also, added support for the "@" construct which is used to specify a script file to be executed without loading it into the SQL Editor first. - Source tab for views now presents source code that is formatted and correctly formed to allow it to be used as an SQL statement to replicate the view. - Added the schema name to the SID for session nodes - it's easier now to find the session you are looking for. Informix Plugin - Is now using the code reformatter for formatting the Source Tab for views The code reformatter was written by Gerd Wagner and previoously located in the EditExtras plugin. It has been moved to core so that other plugins can take advantage of this capability. DBCopy Plugin - Allow the user to set "0" for the fetch size to indicate that this should not be called. JDBC-ODBC bridge driver fails to execute *any* SQL once you have set the fetch size to *any* value. - Analyzes FKs to be copied and skips them if they already exist in destination database. - Now the plugin reorders source tables to satisfy FK dependencies when copying data into existing tables with similar constraints. - The error message for SQLExceptions now includes the SQL statement that was last executed (including bind variable values if it was a PreparedStatement) Data Type Controls/DBCopy preference sheet scrolling - sped up the scrollbar so that one click of the down arrow gives ~10 pixels of scroll instead of only 1 pixel. This makes it so that scrolling with a wheel mouse moves from top edge to bottom edge in about three full rotations of the wheel instead of about thirty. Bug-Fixes: - Fixed issue where USERS, SESSIONS, INSTANCES nodes in the object tree for Oracle sessions weren't being populated with child nodes when the session is first started. - Added support for identifying Informix XPS, so that the Informix plugin can be used (Thanks to Dieter Engelhardt for the patch) - When treating dates like timestamps, simply use the DataTypeTimestamp class instead of trying to make the DataTypeDate class smart enough to interpret timestamps. This fixes the issue where a Number format error was encountered while editing DATEs when they are being interpreted as TIMESTAMPS. - Fixed NPE that is seen on startup when sessions are set to "Connect at Startup " - Fixed functions like Quote/Unquote SQL or Format SQL which were removing new l ines. (Now there is a separate function to remove newlines)

- Caching of schemas (serializing to disc) failed. A NotSerializableException was thrown, due to development code introduced during version 2.5 development. - An error occured when F5 (Refresh) was hit in a SQL Work Sheet or an Object Tr ee Window. 1689040 (plugins prefs files saving) Now preferences for some plugins (DBCopy, MS SQL-Server, Oracle, SQLScri pt and Sybase ASE) that were formerly stored in the program plugin directory, are now stored in the user's settings directory. This means that preferences fo r these plugins should now be preserved when re-installing SQuirreL to a new loc ation. To migrate existing settings, command-line arguments can be given: -DmigratePreferences=true -DoldSQuirreLInstallDir=<old location> This will result in migrating newer prefs.xml files that are located in the program plugin directory (e.g. <old location>/plugins/dbcopy/prefs.xml) to the user's settings directory (e.g. USER_HOME/.squirrel-sql/plugins/dbcopy/prefs.xml) You should edit the launch script to add these settings, start SQuirreL, stop SQuirreL gracefully, then remove these settings from the launch scr ipt. 1682289 Schema browser won't show all schemas. (Thanks to Robert Williams for the patch) 1681202 Access to column metadata by name (that is, COLUMN_NAME) fails. This affected the SQLScripts and Graph Plugins for some versions of the DB2 JDBC driver) 1680919 failure to export cvs/excel on mac osx (incomplete ClassPath entry in Info.plist) 1679998 DOUBLE PRECISION is rounded with locale datatype setting 1675787 Bad link in Online Help 1672207 Create Data Script - PostgreSql. PostgreSQL requires insert statement boolean values to be literal strings "true" or "false", instead of 1/0. 1660412 Create insert script hangs on explicit Oracle DATE fields (A bug in the the SQL parsing routine would hang the thread when the word "fro m" appeared in a column name in the select statement) 1659412 TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE shows as <Unknown (-101)> - Support was added for rendering values of columns with this Oracle-specific type. 1646886 (SQL Bookmarks: Duplicate parameters show as duplicates in the dialog bo x)

Now parameter that appear multiple times in an SQL statement do not result in multiple entry fields in the boolmark run dialog. 1643307 Title is missing in Save-Dialog (When ending a session for file saves) 1617839 Two new lines with white spaces in between do not separate SQLs when SQLs are executed without selection. 1639680 Cannot export smallint and decimal to MS Excel 1635259 Session menu has two items with mnemonic "T" 1639662 Block comments can be ended prematurely (Thanks to Sam Polak for the patch) 1631392 (Dropping materialized views) - The 'Drop' menu item has been replaced by a 'Drop Table(s)' menu item available with the Refactoring Plugin. The new menu item allows the user to specify whether or not to cascade constraints as well as being able to see the SQL that will be executed. 1471672 Float numeric field precision loss in output (DBMS:Oracle) 1447227 Object tree should refresh when changing object tree filters DBCopy Plugin - If the source/dest database is Oracle, and the type of column being copied is DATE, then treat it like a TIMESTAMP for reading or writing the value. Oracle stores a time component in date columns and this change prevents the time component value from being lost if the destination database can also store a time component in DATE columns. Derby Plugin - Transformed trigger source tab contents into valid SQL that can be used to re-create the trigger. - Fixed multiple bugs that occurred in the source tab when the same view/trigger name is used in multiple schemas. Informix Plugin - Fixed to work with IDS 9 - qualified references to all system views by prefixing them with the string 'informix.' (no quotes). - Fixed ordering segements within the body of Stored Procedures. - Applied code formatting to triggers and view source. - Fixed erroneous inclusion of extra whitespace which for some definitions made the SQL invalid. Oracle Plugin - Fixed a memory leak where the plugin was holding on to closed sessions Refactoring Plugin - 'Drop Column' action now properly delegates db-specific drop column command to the appropriate dialect for the session. - Now allows precision and scale for new or modified columns to be set to 0. - The scrollbar in the column list dialog now appears, where previously it did not, making tables with many columns difficult to work with for Add/Modify/Drop column. 2.4 (12/31/2006) ================

New Features/Enhancements: Note: This is the first release of SQuirreL that specifically requires JDK 1.5 or higher to compile and run. The build scripts and the installer now check for at least 1.5 before proceeding. MS Excel export of displayed tables: Besides the exporting tables displayed in SQuirreL to CSV files it is now possible to export to MS Excel files. Thanks to Andr Schild for the patch. Graph Plugin: New right mouse menu item for tables: "View table in Object tree" Derby Plugin: A new plugin which allows the user to view source for triggers and views. Also, detailed information about triggers is available. Informix Plugin: A new plugin which allows the user to view source for stored procedure, trigger and view objects. Also provides Informix-specific details for indexes and triggers. Special thanks goes to Doug Lawry for help setting up an Informix instance for developing the plugin, and providing the system catalog queries necessary for the object information provided by this plugin. Refactoring Plugin: A new plugin which currently allows users to alter tables by adding, modifying and dropping columns as well as adding/dropping Primary Keys. Uses an extended Hibernate dialect framework to derive SQL which is syntactically correct for the database being modified. Made SQuirreL work with hxtt drivers. See www.hxtt.com. Thanks to Yonghong Zhao for patches. Oracle Plugin: Windows for - DB Output, - Session Info, - SGA Trace, - Invalid Objects were changed in the following ways: - Tool bar buttons are not in the main frame tool bar any more but in the Session tool bar. - Each window has its own tool bar icon. - All windows restore their last size and position. - All windows provide a "Stay on top" check box. Syntax plugin: Corrections/Abreviations allow new lines. Use \n to create a new line. Note: Bookmarks are more powerful than abreviations. SQuirreL paths (-home, -user) are shown in Global Preferences LAF Plugin: Added Napkin Look and Feel (JDK 1.5 only) Completion Popup (Code Completion ctrl+space, Tools Popup ctrl+t, Bookmarks Popup ctrl+j): When the beginning/end of the pop up list is reached another arrow up/down jumps to the last/first entry. 1015274: Provided better DB2/400 system naming support 1602255: 'Interpret DATE columns as TIMESTAMP' also in SQL view. When this configuration item is checked, any SQL query result that contains a DATE column will show the DATE values as TIMESTAMP values (This is useful with Oracle where DATE columns also contain TIME components)

Schema refresh on catalog combo box change: Schemas are refreshed automatically, when the user switches to another catalog. On systems that support Catalogs like Sybase or MSSQL, Schemas within a Catalog only become accessible when the catalog combo box is switched to the their Catalog. To make Schemas available in the Object Tree, Code completion etc. after a Catalog switch Schemas are now automatically refreshed. (Thanks to Stan Berka for this patch) Graph Plugin: The Graph plugin now allows to save jpg images to files instead of printing them . The image files are an exact copy of what would be sent to a printer and can easily be used within other applications. (Feature requested by David Karr) DBCopy Plugin: Added support for Informix and HADB. Relocated dialect framework to core to allow other plugins to use (Refactoring) - this version is now no longer compatible or supported for previous versions of SQuirreL. Re-organized the table and view context menus so that the SQLScripts plugin menu items now appear under the "Scripts" menu item and in the same order that they appear in the session menu "Scripts" menu item. Updated Spanish translation strings (Thanks to Diego Schulz) Added JDBC driver CLASSNAME and CLASSPATH to the Metadata tab so that it is not necessary to open the driver definition for the current session to get this information. Bug-Fixes: When reconnecting a Session with the current connection dead SQuirreL always switched to Autocommit = false state. Now the Sessions Autocommit state is preserved. MySQL Plugin: Fixed bug which caused the MySQL all of the tabs to appear with no content. SQL editor function "View Object at cursor in Object tree" (ctrl+B) now works for fully qualified object names with leading and trailing quotation marks and slashes. Oracle plugin: Fixed the rendering of details/source tabs for indexes sequences and triggers. Added support for Informix way of referring to database objects within catalog and schema as catalog:"schema".objectname. DBCopy plugin: - Removed reflective code used for backward compatibility which was causing IllegalAccessExceptions when the keyword test was applied to column names. - Fixed bug in copying FK constraints which left cursors open by not properly closing ResultSets when they were no longer needed. - Fixed bug in copying FK constraints where the primary key table name wasn't fully qualified the schema of the destination database. This was most noticeable when copying tables with FKs into a schema which was not the default schema for that session.

- Fixed bug where cancelling the copy operation during table data transfer did not also cancel the transfer of table constraints. 1601610 - Bug while editing integer/long columns 1598162: Fixed the issue when using Java 6 you had to click the Connect button twice when the app is first started. 1597463: Maximized and multimonitor window size not saved 1595913: Cannot select SQL dropdown under java 6. Added logic to prevent the MacOS X plugin from loading if not on the mac platform. It causes the Global Preferences menu item to disappear when it is loaded and the platform isn't Mac Look and Feel Plugin: Plastic Look and Feels (JGoodies) weren't available anymor e. "Make Editable" on single table SQL did not work when SELECT list contained new lines. 1554175: (Aliases lost on close) 1532997: (NullPointerException when trying to save alias) 1522229: (Error occured saving Alias Definitions java.lang.NullPointer) Many people complained about this one. At first we determined this was low priority since it didn't seem to be reproducable on all jvms. We inadvertantly changed the SQLDriverPropertyCollectionBeanInfo such that it no longer accurately described the bean SQLDriverPropertyCollection. in 1.4.2_05 this triggered an NPE bug in the jvm code (Introspector.addPropertyDescriptor) which caused the SQLAlias persistence to fail, leaving the user with no aliases. 1584283: (DBCopy plugin - Copying LOBs from Oracle to Oracle fails) If destination column type is Types.OTHER (1111), try to get the type name and map it to a valid java SQL type (such as Types.BLOB or Types.CLOB). This only works when the database column type name as reported by the JDBC driver is a standard type such as BLOB, VARCHAR, CLOB, CHAR, etc... A mapping exception is thrown otherwise. 1584260: (DBCopy plugin - Fix for issue where the same table is found in multiple schemas/catalogs that the user has access to. Now we specify catalog or schema if the driver claims to support them.) 1577254: Trigger details tabs aren't rendered 1532857: (DB2 on AS400 table list not shown) Incorporated Colin Bell's patch to address this issue which causes SQuirreL to give '*ALLUSR' for the schema value when calling DatabaseMetaData.getTables. 1520156: changed the function of the configurable ref actions checkboxes for SQLScript plugin. Now, they will override what is contained in the DatabaseMetaData if checked. If not checked, we now use whatever the database tells us the ref action is (before we weren't bothering to check the with the database. Now we do, by default) 1508503: (Double entry for each column fields): Don't add the column to the list if it is already there - uses the fully qualified version of the column, so may still see duplicate columns with different types.

Bug Fix: Editing data in multiple tables would sometimes fail erroneously with an error message like "This row in the Database has changed since you refreshed the data. No rows will be updated by this operation". Bug Fix: Solved issue where tables were not appearing in the object tree for Sun HADB (High-Availability Database). Special thanks to Lars Heill of Sun Microsystems, Inc. for technical assistance with installing/configuring HADB. 2.3 Final ========= Enhancements: An Italian translation of SQuirreL labels/messages is now available in the installer (Thanks to Ivo Neri) Bug Fixes: 1563613: Alias property window dies when URL is malformed. 1563610: (Only connection specified DB schema loaded regardless) Enhanced the catalog selection so that changing the catalog updates the schema info and expands the TABLES node in the tree for the selected catalog. 1563603: ORA-01830 error: Date format 1561293: Show Loaded Drivers Only" does not work in "Add Alias" dialog. 1558509: 'create sequence' rejected as invalid SQL 1520156: (Reverse Engineering Foreign Key Cascade Missing). Added configuration for referential actions clause of FK constraints. 1426012: PLAN_TABLE not found - look for PLAN_TABLE in other schemas and allow user to choose one. 1371587: Not possible to edit data after SQL query 1250855: (Oracle DATE does not display correctly) Added a new configuration item to Global Preferences -> Date Type Controls -> Date Section which allows the user to "Interpret DATE columns as TIMESTAMP". Bug Fix: Fix for issue where the SGA Trace view wasn't displaying data in the "Buffer Gets per Row" column. 2.3 rc2 ========= New Features/Enhancements: Feature Request #1556226: New menu items in the right mouse menu of tables "Adopt all column widths" - Adopts all columns widths of current table to header/data. "Always adopt all column widths" (check box) - Widths are automatically adopted for all tables opened in the future. New menu-item "Export CSV" in context menu of table contents spreadsheet allows

the user to choose whether to use formatting from Global Prefs or default formatting. SQL result tabs offer to rerun their SQL query to update their data. Text limit line of Netbeans editor can now be positioned or switched off in Session Properties. Bug Fixes: 1448738: (JDK 6.0 regression) This appeared to be a bug in the Java 6 SE, but it turned out that we weren't using the correct method to load classes fro m the ClassLoader. Sun "fixed" the method (ClassLoader.loadClass) that we were using previously so that it no longer worked as it did in 1.4 and 1.5. For details see: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6446627 We rectified the problem in SQuirreL by following Sun's suggestions regarding which API methods are being called. 1544447: (Generated SQL script Table names are not fully Qualified, it should be "SCHEMA"."TABLE_NAME") Added a new global preference panel and checkbox to make this alternative behavior configurable. The d efault now is to qualify table names with their schema name. 1541154: (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in DataTypeDouble) 1533824: (NPE when loading keywords from DatabaseMetaData) Check the values returned for null before attempting to parse and store them (DB2 driver returns null for getCatalogTerm()) Bug fix: When doing a complete refresh (F5) or a refresh item in the Object tree (see right mouse menu) code completion was not refreshed. Bug fix: In Oracle Plugin - Avoided open cursors when viewing database output ( dbms_output.put_line() ). Bug fix: Stored procedures where not shown in Object Tree when the Oracle Plugin was used. Bug fix: When a Schema was created and the Object Tree was refreshed the new Schema was not shown. Bug fix: In Alias properties for Oracle Note: This bug took effect when default Alias properties were used. So this fix probably increases Session startup performance for Oracle users who use the Oracle plugin but do not care for Alias properties. Bug: When an Alias was configured to load all Schemas and cache non but the Oracle Alias properties didn't allow to load all schemas SQuirreL still did load all tables and procedures from the database. Though the unallowed tables and procedures did not show up in the Object tree they still caused bad startup perfomance. Fix: Now only tables and procedures for allowed schemas are loaded. Bug fix: Object tree table tab titles were not being internationalized as their values were hard-coded and not available in I18NStrings.properties files. Now they are.

Installer Changes: Three new translations were added to the installer: Simplified Chinese (Thanks to xpdz) French (Thanks to Erwan Duroselle) German (Thanks to Andreas Oswald) Added new optional plugin (DBCopy) to the installer which allows database tables and their content to be copied from one session to another inside of SQuirreL using Copy/Paste menu items. 2.3 rc1 ========= If an Alias is configured to Auto Logon but has wrong user name/password on connecting the user gets an error dialog and has to correct user name/passw ord. For convenience the corrected data now is written back to the Alias. Note: The Writing back is only done when the Alias is configured to Auto Logon . Session startup performance General: New Alias properties allow to configure loading and caching of Schema s. Oracle: When the Oracle Plugin ist used an Oracle tab in Alias properties enab les you to allow an Alias's Sessions only to see Schemas the user has access t o. Fixed bug #1504123: Oracle hints losts By default SQuirreL treads /*...*/ as comments and removes them before sending a SQL to a database. This default may now be changed in the (New) Session Properties. See Menu File --> New Session Properties --> Tab SQL. Added toolbar button to toggle auto commit Bug fixes in Oracle Plugin: - Explain Plan not visible in Results tab - Object tree: Sessions, Users and Instances and nodes sometimes not visible - Object tree: SYS Schema displayed twice for certain user rights - Fixed Memory Leak (Session were not garbage collected when Oracle Plugin was used) Fixed bug #984527: Right mouse popup menu is now available in empty table. Feature request #1446675 Output tables to CSV files All tables' right mouse menus have an 'Export CVS ...' item. In the export dialog you may provide an application (like OpenOffice calc or M S Excel) to open the CSV file immediately after creation. New toolbar button: Select current SQL (control Shift S)

This function is based on SQuirreL's concept of 'current SQL': If there is no s elected text the current SQL is the text between the empty line in fornt of cursor position and the empty li ne after cursor position. Any function that deals with SQL is aware of this concept. Installer now includes the following optional translation packages: - Brazilian Portuguese (contributed by Francis Martin) - Czech (contributed by Jan Kostrhun) - Bulgarian (contributed by Ivan Dimov) Feature request #1441787 Quickly adopt column widths to column values when table header is double clicked while the resize mouse pointer (<-->) is v isible. (MS Excel like) Enhancements of the Bookmarks Plugin - Bookmark preferences can be opened by the "Edit Bookmarks" button in the Sess ion toolbar. - Bookmarks can be run from within the Bookmark Preferences. - Lots of "SQuirreL Bookmarks" which are templates for many common SQL/DDL stat ements. - User can decide if he wants to see "SQuirreL Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks sele ction popup of the SQL Editor (ctrl j). Fixed bugs in error and syntax highlighting: - Error highlighting for "ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT ..." - Error highlighting for "CREATE VIEW ..." - Error and syntax highlighting for "CASE [...] WHEN ... THEN ... ELSE .. END" Centralized Database Meta Data caching. This brings along the following improvem ents: - When a DDL statement is run the Object Tree is updated immediately to reflect the change. This works as long as standard DDL statements are used. - Syntax coloring and code completion for newly created tables, views, columns, procedures is available right after a DDL statement was run. This works as long as standard DDL statem ents are used. - The Refresh button updates the Object tree as well as syntax highlighting and code completion. Make the status message for rows affected by executing an SQL statement in the S QL panel take into account the type of SQL query issued. Fixed Bug #1472398: Content tab filters didn't work with views. Fixed Bug #1465707: Programm slow with big Databases because reading Database Me ta Data twice. Technical detail: The SchemaInfo class has become SQuirreL's central meta data cache. Fixed Bug: SQuirreL crashed during building output of SQL results when errors oc cured in number-type or date-type fields. Fixed Bug in Graph Plugin: In zoomed graphs lines with folding points could not be selected.

2.2 Final ========= - Fixed Bug #1467671: Session Properties / General / Appearance: "SQL Results Ta bs" overwrites "SQL Execution Tabs" setting. - Fixed Bug #1464361: Windows bat file is location specific (Thanks to Bill Wall ace) - Fixed Bug #1456423: Cannot cancel a query. Changed to allow the cancel operati on to interrupt the fetching of results. While resolving the "hanging" of a lo ng-running this also allows results that have been fetched so far to be displaye d. This can help the user determine why the query was taking a long time to execute. - Fixed Bug #1447231: ESCAPE key should close dialogs - Fixed Bug #1457811: Autocomplete does not work for views when tables and view names match. - Fixed Bug for Teradata not showing SQL results. (Thanks to Matthew Dahlman) - Fixed Bug #1456463: update to allow the user to override the closing of a sess ion in the event that there are unsaved edits and they decide not to save them rig ht away. They can always choose to not save and discard, closing the session i mmediately. This change will make it so that if they choose to not discard, a nd something happens during the save that causes the edits not to get saved, the session will not be closed. Added independently configurable options to warn wh en closing a session if there are any unsaved edits (optional for File or Buffer) . If the "Confirm Session Close" option is turned off, these can stil l be enabled so that unsaved edits are never lost merely by closing a session. P reviously it was very easy to lose changes made in the SQL edit tab when the sessi on was closed. This previous behavior, if desired, is still available via Global Preferences. - Fixed Bug #1441169: error in removing a deleted row more than once. - Fixed Bug #1250514: Mysql Error: Cannot edit table. 2.2 RC1 ======= - There is now a printer icon in each SQL entry panel which will allow the current sql script to be send to a printer. Syntax highlighting

is preserved. SQL entry panel size is used to scale the font. - Feature request #1441563 Query script generation: New entry for tables and views in the Objects tree's right mouse menu to creat e SELECT statements. - Added menu item and supporting capability to the SQLScripts plugin to create a drop table script from the selected tables in the object tree. - Added new property for drivers - website url - and a new menu item for drivers to launch the system default web browser and load the driver website url. - When adding a new driver definition, SQuirreL will now look at the default driver list and determine if any driver defs are missing from the user's personal list. If so, SQuirreL will prompt the user to add them. - MSSQL plugin: Scripting of procedures now works on MSSQL 2005 - Improved performance of the Session window when connecting to a database over a slow link (especially Oracle). Instead of freezing the window, now SQuirreL indicates the progress of the session connection in the session frame status bar and allows the user to perform other tasks in parallel. Note: The session frame close button is temporarily ignored when the session is still loading and therefore not in a safe state to be closed. Once the session has been loaded, the close button will be re-enabled. - Keyboard short cuts are shown in tool bar tool tips. - Navigation through SQLs in SQL Editor by tool bar or Alt up/down keys. Note: The concept of an SQL in SQuirreL is the text between two empty lines. M any functions in SQuirreL use this concept. This way the user often doesn't need to mark the text he wants to execute a function on. The concept is especially convenient for the Run SQL function (control E nter). - Introduced Oracle specific code to allow editing of tables in Oracle that cont ain Date columns. Oracle stores time information in java.sql.Types.DATE columns. The where claus es that SQuirreL used to create to update data after editing only contained the Date part of th ose columns. That's why the where clause didn't match the database row and editing failed. - SQL Editor: ctrl+backspace deletes word behind cursor. - SQL Editor: To upper/lower case function available in tools pop up or by short cut ctrl+shift+u/l - Row numbers in SQL result and Object Tree tables tables: Use the right mouse menu in SQL result tables or Object Tree tables to switch on row numbering. - Improved handling of detached result windows: * By default result windows stay on top.

Files are now written to a temp file first and then renamed. - Fixed bug: In - Fixed bug: In able alias name in pta) 2.1 final ========= - Fixed bug #757354 Aliases not reordering on change: Introduced sort button in Alias window tool bar. - Fixed bug #732696: Dump application success window title and Dump application Code Completion, the database-dependent keywords where missing code completion, columns weren't shown correctly when the same t was used different statements for different tables (Thanks to Abhishek Gu

file filter. - SQuirreL is ready for internationalization. The new I18n plugin supports trans lations. Put the Plugin in your Plugin path, restart SQuirreL and open the Global Prefe rences dialog. There you'll find a new tab named I18n. Follow the instructions there. - Fixed bug #1386916 (Informix 3.0 JC3 is considered "not JDBC 2.1 compliant) Th e algorithm for detecting non-compliance incorrectly concluded non-compliance if the database doesn't support save points. - Oracle Plugin: Added access to SYS schema in the object tree for non-privilege d users since this is where the user-oriented DDL information tables and views a re located. - Fixed bug #1377304: Ant-built distributions do not preserve file permissions (Thanks to Charles Albrecht) - Fixed bug #1376981: SQL Scripts plugin fails to create table script for Axion DB. - Fixed *ugly* bug in editing SQL results: To reproduce the bug you had to have two editable SQLs for different tables. E xecute the first and edit some results. Close the result tab. Execute the second SQL. Editing o f this result would fail. The reason was that SQuirreL reuses result tabs but did not properly initialize them before reuse. Because of this editing could feel terribly instable when s ome results had been closed and SQuirreL began to reuse tabs. - Sizes of Properies and Preferences windows are restored. - Made Syntax highlighting work for: Data Types, Functions, Operators, Identifie rs, White Spaces - Fixed bug #1276957: Oracle protocol violation. - Oracle Plugin (v0.15) - If the user doesn't have the DBA privilege, then only loads the schemas in the object tree to which the user has been granted access. 2.1 rc2 ======= - Bug fix: If SQLs are saved to a file the Session window's title bar displayed an error message instead of the alias and file name. - Bug fix: If two Sessions are open and one is closed the one left open lost key bindings which means that for example arrow navigation keys don't work anymore. 2.1 rc1 ======= - Selecting a code completion with tab (instead of enter) will delete the string between the carret position and the next white space. - New Session properties to configure code completion for functions. Examples: { call myFun(<IN Integer myParam>} or plain myFun() - Fixed memory leaks. The memory panel in the status bar now tells which Session are garbage collected. Use JDK 1.5.x for better memory behavior.

- Fixed several problems when reconnecting an open Session. (See menu Session -> reconnect) - Improved Exception handling and new Log panel in Status bar: SQuirreL's: exception/log handling had two problems: i. Exceptions could easily occur without being logged. ii. It was hard for users to get aware of logs. The only way was to regularly open the logs window. It is taken care now that all exceptions are logged. The user is notified that a log was produced by the new Log panel in SQuirreL's status bar. A traffic lights color of the last log is displayed on one of the Log panel's buttons. The last log color is displayed for 5 seconds and is the n turned bag to white. This allows the user to have an eye an the logs without much disturbance. The buttons of the Log panel allow the user to view the last Log and to open t he logs window. New Memory panel in Status bar. Cleaned up SQuirreL logs Made Swingset's Aqua Look and Feel available Fixed bug: No line counter label on SQL Worksheet (opened by ctrl+n) Fixed the following Exception on Sybase when the Object tab was used: java.sql.SQLException: "..."."dbo"."..." not found (Thanks to Gupta, Abhishek) - Added "cut/copy SQL to be executed" function to the editor. Since SQuirreL kno ws the concept of SQL text without selection (from caret position between previous and next e mpty line), these functions are short hands for the usual copy and cut which only work on selected text. - Fixed deleting rows from editable SQL result and from contents tab (ArrayIndex OutOfBounds) - Fixed bug #1331445: Line comments could change SQLs. - Patch #1326472 - Oracle plugin is smarter about accessing restricted tables as an unprivileged user (Thanks to Alexander Buloichik) - Bug fix: Limited rows/SQL - hints on top of a result tab could be corrupted (f or example multi lined) because of missing HTML escaping. - Improved messaging for driver definition. - Bug fix: Driver Icon did not update when driver was changed. - Added IBM DB2 Net driver to default drivers. - The source SQL statement used to create a view is now available via the MS SQL Server plugin. - Patch #1324774 The source SQL statement used to create a view is now available via the Oracle Plugin (Thanks to Alexander Buloichik) - Added Session Property "load columns in background". This option might help pe ople who feel that the SQL editor hangs because they use databases with a lot of objects and/or use low data tra nsfer rates. - Configurable warning for JDBC API version mismatch between the JVM and JDBC dr iver - Fixed bug #1316903 (SQL Panel hangs when Ctrl-B on whitespace) - Added comment/uncomment functions to the SQL editor. - Made auto corrections and duplicate line available outside the Netbeans editor . - Bug fix: Code completion did not work when object was directly preceded by =,>

or <. Example: Table1.col1=Tab... - Enabled code completion when a ' or a " is on FE 1305802) - Fixed bug #1288519 (Postgres: editing boolean - Fixed for table and tree row height for large - User may define an Object tree filter through or large databases. (Thanks to Oliver Jehle)
