Squilbo SQL tool needs BETA testers!

tobinharris — Wed, 14 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Hi folks,

We're looking for developers to help test Squilbo, starting within the next few weeks.

Squilbo lets you work with databases from your web browser. It's a simple tool designed for the SQL-savvy developer. It supports long running queries, multiple queries at once, batches, keyboard shortcuts, editable result sets, schema browsing and saving of queries. Deployment should be straight forward - just upload to your ASP.NET hosting or company intranet.

Version 1.0 will support MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Sql Server 2000, Postgres, Oracle and Sqlite are in the pipeline too.

Get to play with squilbo early and sign up for Squilbo beta testing (starting soon).

Thanks for reading :-)

Smarties 2008 1.3.0 has been released

MojabSoftware — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

In this release you would find eight more database engines added to BO/VBO Generator feature of Smarties 2008. Please see the full list of supported database engines below. To compliment BO/VBO Generator a new timesaver command called Extract DTO Class has also been added. Please see the command in action. This new feature would also serve you for creating similar classes using the concept of DTO. Eight enhancements have been made to Smarties 2008 as well plus few bug fixes.

We have decided not to include DAO as part of BO/VBO Generator even though we worked on it for a few days to see what we could do about it without thinking OR/M. As we have stated before Smarties 2008 is not going to be an OR/M but quickly we found that touching DAO would force us to go all the way to OR/M. I'll blog about this more but for now I would like share this with you. Not everyone uses OR/M even though an OR/M's entity generator can do the bulk of work for you by creating the entity classes as well as collection types and so on. What about the developers who don't wish to use OR/M? This is where Smarties 2008 comes to your rescue by generating the flat entities and the collection types with various timesavers options such as Smart Interfaces very qucikly within VS IDE. With a total of nine database engines supported in Smarties 2008 it should make many developers happy to have the capability at their feet.

Database Engine:

MS SQL Server
MS SQL CE Edition 3.1 and 3.5
MS Access
Oracle
MySql
PostgreSql
Firebird
Sqlite
VistaDB

We have also updated the site with new theme to match the mood for spring-summer

[Edit: 8 April]

I just published an Article about Data Access Objects on my blog. Please read it when you get the time. After all I'm able to do something about the DAO.
