New logo!

A few days ago i asked my friends (http://linuxgraphics.ru) for drawing a new logo. So... Konstantin Rotkevich has done it.
How do you find it?



I think it is perfect! There will be a new design with new logo in the near future.

GSQL 0.2.1 Released.

In this release we fixed some bugs:

- Issue 7 (oracle-engine: SIGSEGV with TIMESTAMP data type)
- Issue 10 (restoring the window state after restart is fixed now)
- Issue 6 (mysql-engine: case sensitive on the database object names)
- Issue 17 (fix FreeBSD build)

Buildsystem was cleaned up (Now the files are installed according to
standards).

Debian build routines rewritten from scratch. Fixes for RPM building.

There are also several improvements:

- oracle-engine: scanning of tnsnames.ora - you can select alias name
from the drop-down list, or simply start typing the name of an alias
and get suggested autocompletion.

- option to switch window to fullscreen mode

- the logon window now includes action by default. you do not have to
aim to click "OK", just press Enter.


First, I would like to thank the developers Dmitry Oboukhov (Debian)
and Pavel Shevchuk (Fedora) for a great help in adapting build on
these distributions. I hope to see this project in official
repositories of these distributions in near future.

Also thanks to all who wrote bug reports! Thank you all! I'm looking
forwards to see more bugreports ;-)

Happy New Year everyone! Merry Christmas!

See you next year!

PS: Uninstall all previous ubuntu packages prior to installing new
version.

GSQL 0.2.0 released!

Announcing the first public release of project GSQL version 0.2.0

GSQL is an integrated database development environment for GNOME. It is designed to support multiple database engines, so far MySQL and Oracle are supported.

This release introduces:

• SQL editor
• PL /SQL editor (in triggers, functions, procedures and packages) accessible in Oracle engine.
• tree-like database object navigation
• using standard notification service for pop up messages. E. g. in case of inactivity user will be notified on query completion
• create and connect to a duplicate session with parameters copied from the active session, all in one click
• configuration improved. It is now possible to tune GSQL look, customize editor and set up the settings of DBMS engine, e.g. set custom environment variables to access Oracle
• new plugins:
  
  
  • Terminal: opens a terminal session with parameters (such as login, password etc) taken from the active session
  • Exporter: exports query results to a CVS file. So far only fetched records could be exported
  • Runner: periodically executes SQL queries.
  
  

Release remarks:

• MySQL engine:
  
  
  • MySQL server version 5 and higher is required. GSQL relies on information_schema, which was introduced in version 5.0
  
  
  • You can not cancel a running query as easy as in Oracle due to API limitations. You can always open a terminal session and cancel the query with “KILL QUERY”
• Oracle engine:
  
  
  • This version was tested with Oracle version 10.1.0.2.0. Should you experience any troubles with different Oracle versions please report to GSLQ authors
  
  
  • It is not recommended to use oracle-xe-client from http://oss.oracle.com/debian repository, there are known issues with NLS with this client.
  
  

GSQL API is now stable enough, and you are highly encouraged to contribute your own plugins or support additional database engines.

We wish GSQL could become the main database development tool in GNOME one day.
