dbmstools 0.4.4-rc1 released

The first release candidate for version 0.4.4 of dbmstools is now available.

dbmstools is a set of utilities for software developers who work with databases. It understands database schemas (tables, sequences, views etc.) and DBMSs (Database Management Systems, e.g. Oracle, Postgres).

dbmstools is mainly intended for application developers who need to support schemas on more than one DBMS, or those who want to migrate a schema (possibly including data) from one DBMS to another. It also generates spiffy documentation for your schema, and makes testing easier, among other things. You can download the new release from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=165690 , or check out the home page at http://dbmstools.sourceforge.net/ .

This version adds explicit support for column defaults and auto-increment columns, 'tiny' and 'boolean' data types, as well as sequences on the Hypersonic DBMS. MySQL support has been improved, particularly in generating upgrade scripts with deltaddl. And there has been the usual slew of small bug fixes and improvements.

Thanks to Lee Andrew and Amit Joshi for assistance and suggesions for this release.

Cheers ................. JD
