SqlDump

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 3.0b1

Notes:


Changes:
* SqlDump Database Dump Wizard now displays the list of databases for selection.
* SqlDump Database Dump Wizard now has an "About" button for displaying version information.
* FIXED: incorrect dumping of timestamp/uniqueidentifier columns.
* FIXED: object names, column names will not be delimited by brackets if they comply with identifier naming rules (more support for MS SQL 6.5 databases).
* FIXED: table not being dumped if it does not have any indexes.
* FIXED: database size incorrectly calculated.
* FIXED: crash if password input is greater than 64 characters (buffer overflow).
* FIXED: keyboard accelerators, tab key was not working in the progress dialog box.
* FIXED: hitting Ctrl+C in password input in SqlDump command line aborts immediately.
* A log file named "database-name.log" is created in the temp directory (C:\TEMP or wherever defined). SqlDump Database Dump Wizard displays a 'View Log' button for viewing the log file.
* No more Wizard97 style, SqlDump Database Dump Wizard has now a normal wizard look and feel.
* SqlDump (both gui and command line programs) now asks for confirmation before overwriting an existing file (the log file will always be overwritten).
* SqlDump command line now supports GNU style long options.
* Renamed getpass to getpw.
* Moved SQL utility functions like quote(), escape(), etc. to sqlutil.c. The function mtof() is no longer needed, strtod() does a better job actually.
* SqlDump now compiles successfully under MinGW too. That makes SqlDump support three Win32 implementations viz., Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++, and MinGW with W32 headers and libraries.
* All the source files have been fully modified to follow my coding style (based on the classic Bjarne Stroupstrup's coding style).
