Gentry / News: Recent posts

A new release of Gentry has just been released which adds support for datetime, timestamp, year and float data/column types. More development to come in the near future.

This version now has autoconf/automake support to automatically detect the correct location/libraries for mysql.

A new version has just been released. This one fixed a bug with the auto_increment primary key field in that if gentry was run against a table with no rows, it would segfault. This has been fixed.

I have just put together another release (yes, I know it has been too long since the last one) that adds:

1. support for the time datatype of Mysql. I was informed of this lack from a user that took the time to send feedback (Thanks! and nudge, nudge, wink, wink to the rest of you guys).

2. Code to support username and password via command line switches. The same database and table command line options are still support but there is now also a switch for each of these as well. ... read more

I have uploaded a .tar.gz file that has diffs to add the time datatype to gentry-0.1.7 while I am working on getting a new release together.

Please, I would like some feedback on my program. I have a survey that makes this very easy. Please fill it out at http://www.sourceforge.net/survey/survey.php?group_id=5048&survey_id=10675.

New release version 0.1.7 is available. This has fixed some of the auto_increment code and now offers combo entry field for ENUM data types.

Seems that the 0.1.6 release was a bit premature. When I tested this I was using a table that has the auto_increment column defined last and this works just fine. However, when I tried this later on a table with the auto_increment column first, I got a segmentation fault. I have been tracking this down for about 2 hours now and have not come up with a solution.
I have my working code I would be happy to send to anyone who wishes to see it and lend a hand.
I will get this fixed as quickly as possible.... read more

New version is 0.1.6.
Added code for auto_increment fields.

A new release is now available adding preliminary code for ENUM data type. Also included is a minor fix for the Clear button focus.

Enjoy!

I have just created a new survey that I would like all users of Gentry to fill out. I find this product fills my exact needs but I want to make sure that you guys are fully serviced and so I need to know what you need and want. So, fill out the survey and I look forward to your input.
