SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of Code Factory 10.2, a premier GUI tool for managing SQL queries and scripts. There are versions for MySQL, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, Firebird, DB2, SQL Anywhere and MaxDB.

Please consider the list of new features implemented in this version since the last official release:

DBMS-related features:

  • Starting with this version it is possible to connect to a remote server via SSH tunnel using a key-based authentication (in addition to the password-based authentication supported in the previous versions). To establish a remote connection in this way, you have to provide a private key (either in ssh.com or OpenSSH formats) and (optionally) a passphrase.

    This version also introduces support for both SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols (whereas all the previous versions supported only SSH-1).

Interface improvements:

  • Visual Query Builder has been dramatically improved. Now it can produce INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements as well as the SELECT statements containing subqueries and/or UNIONs.
  • Data Export wizard has been significantly improved:

    • Support for Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007, OpenDocument Spreadsheed, and OpenDocument Text file formats has been implemented.
    • Now you can select the result file encoding (ANSI, UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, OEM, and Mac).
    • The wizard also has been completely rewritten to improve the look and feel and increase the usability.
  • Data Import wizard has been updated too:

    • Now you can import data from Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office Access 2007 file formats along with Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003, Microsoft Office Access, CSV, DBF, and Text files supported in the previous versions.
    • Starting with this version you can import Text and CSV data files stored in different encodings.
    • Now it is possible to empty target tables as well as execute custom SQL scripts before and after the import.
    • An ability of using bulk-loading commands has been implemented (for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle). This feature can speed up the import process up to 10 times so it is recommended to use it always if possible.
    • The wizard has been completely redesigned to improve the look and feel and increase the usability.
  • Get SQL Dump: abilities to generate multi-row INSERT statements and specify output file encoding have been implemented.
  • BLOB Viewer: Unicode support has been added to the Non-BLOB data grid.

  • Database profile management improvements:
    • Starting with this version it is possible to reorder servers in the Explorer Tree as well as reorder databases from the same server. You can also sort servers and databases in an alphabetical order.
    • Now all the database profiles related to the same server may be deleted at once.
  • Data Grid features the following things:
    • Starting with this version it is possible to allow displaying row numbers in grids. Of course you can adjust the corresponding column to yours liking.
