Neil McPherson: "Thanks very much for your advice. I would just like to add that SQL Maestro makes life so much easier to work with Firebird, I have tried some of the other management tools but Maestro is such a nicely organized product and it has never let me down".
Stephen Arrowel, Database Administrator: "We are in the process of implementing Firebird solutions at multiple levels in our international organization. We expect that SQL Maestro Group will do nothing short of revolutionize the way we develop and maintain our Firebird databases. The continuous improvement and development means that the product is extremely flexible and will grow with us. The service and responsiveness of the Support Team has been exceptional. They have devoted countless hours to understanding our needs, so that we could get a Firebird administration tool which would be so simple and effective in use. SQL Maestro Group is helping Sytrax sail into the 21st Century".

SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of a new version of Firebird Maestro, a powerful Windows GUI solution for Firebird administration and database development.

Please consider the list of new features implemented in Firebird Maestro 7.7 since last official release:

Server management extensions:

  • The most important thing added in this version is support of Unicode/UTF-8 data.

  • Since this version Firebird Maestro works fine with embedded Firebird server. The corresponding changes were added to Create Database wizard, Create Database Profiles wizard and Edit Database Profile window.

  • Transaction Browser is implemented (Firebird 2.1). This feature is very useful for DBAs who want to monitor the users' activity (in fact, there are potentially thousands of sessions in a database at any one time). You can view details for each transaction (such as user, connect time, database name, client host, last SQL statement executed and more) as well as group and filter transactions by client host, connected user, database, etc.
    To access the Transaction Browser window, select the corresponding item from the Tools menu.

  • Support of database triggers from Firebird 2.1 is added to the software (see Firebird 2.1 release notes). You can create new database triggers and edit existing ones.

Interface improvements:
  • Database Designer: a possibility of locking/unlocking diagram objects is added. This feature prevents your diagram from unforeseen changes: when the diagram is locked, you can neither move/resize/delete existing objects nor add new ones.

  • It is now possible to execute SQL scripts after connect and before disconnect to/from a database.

  • Some new features are incorporated into SQL Editor and SQL Script Editor. Now it is possible:

    • comment/uncomment selected text (Shift+Ctrl+. / Shift+Ctrl+, shortcuts respectively). If no text is selected, the whole line will be commented. By the way, it is not necessary to select commented text to uncomment it, just press Shift+Ctrl+, having the cursor inside the commented text. Both kinds of comments (single-line and multi-line) are supported;

    • convert selected text to different cases (lower, UPPER, and NameCase);

    • export the contents of the editor to RTF and HTML formats (to file or to clipboard);

    • print/preview the contents of the editor.

  • The Copy to SQL Script Editor command is added to all object editors (available in the Navigation Bar on the SQL tab). Use it for quick copying object’s SQL definition (DDL) to the SQL Script Editor for future modifications;

  • Data grid: some advanced filtering abilities were implemented (see Main menu | Tools | Options | Data grid | Filter);

  • Explorer tree: the Browse command is added to lists' popup menus (runs the Object Browser tool).

In addition to this, several bugs were fixed and some other minor improvements and corrections were made.
