Project that contains documentation for SQuirreL SQL Client that gets distributed in the installer
Summary of the major changes between SQuirreL SQL Client 1.0
and 1.1. The full change history can be found in changes.txt.
Plugin Architecture Added
-------------------------
SQuirreL now supports plugins. These are applications written in Java that
run within SQuirreL. This allows developers to enhance the functionality
of SQuirreL without having to rebuild the SQuirreL application itself. Some
of the plugins that have been written for SQuirreL include the jEdit plugin,
Look and Feel Plugin, MySQL plugin, Oracle Plugin, Session Scripts plugin,
SQL Scripts plugin, and the SQL Validator plugin.
SQL Execution Enhanced
----------------------
Multiple SQL statements can be executed simultaneoulsy or sequentially. The
results of these queries are now displayed in multiple tabs and these tabs
can be "torn off" (Johan Compagner).
Many more data types are now displayed.
Undo/redo support has been added to the SQL entry area.
Meta data is now available for the results of SQL execution.
Object Tree Enhancements
------------------------
The object tree code has been rewritten and now executes faster.
JDBC Drivers
------------
Multiple jar files (and directories) can now be specified for a
JDBC driver. You can now list the JDBC driver classes within a jar file.
General
-------
The licence for the application has been changed from GPL to LGPL.
SQL execution and object tree expansion now run in separate threads so
that the user interface is still responsive.
Tables can now be sorted by clicking on the column headers. Full column
data in tables can now be displayed in a popup window by double clicking
in the column.
