JDatabase Wizard Version 1.3 Build 1468 release notes

Maintanance release, released on Arpil 21 2003

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.3 Build 1467 release notes

• Table and View JDBC 1 & 2 classes: Advanced tab has a new combo to select the return type of update, insert and delete SQL methods:
  • void: as before, nothing is returned
  • int: the return value of the JDBC calls to PreparedStatement.executeUpdate() is returned in the generated methods. Some drivers return the number of records inserted/updated/deleted.

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.3 Build 1466 release notes

• New: Queries introduced. This feature allows SQL select statements (including joins) to be mapped to Java classes. This feature needs the JDBC driver to support PreparedStatement.getMetaData().
• There is a glitch in the query tab display for JDK 1.4.0. Resizing the window overcomes this. JDK 1.3 and 1.4.1 work fine.

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.2 Build 1462 release notes

Maintenance release

• EJB generation problems fixed.
• JDBC classes: After class creation, revisiting the class and the database object has new columns: the synchronization adds new properties with "No Access", previously new class properties were assigned the default access, usually "All (S,U,I)".

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.2 Build 1461 release notes

• UI enhancement release:
  • 5 most recently used project files are in the file menu for quick open.
  • JDBC1 & JDBC2 table and view class properties: improved use of panel space and default column access options.
  • JDBC1 & JDBC2 class method editors: methods can be copied, to reduce work when creating similar methods.
  • JDBC1 & JDBC2 class method parameter editors: when creating a parameter for a select/update/delete method, selecting a column to set the parameter type also uses the column name as a default parameter name. In most cases, this name is better than "Parameter1".

  Released on June 23 2002.

• Some options previously on the JDBC classes tab have been moved to a new "Advanced Settings" tab. This is to make the user interface easier to understand and use.

All bugs reported up to January 28 2002 have been addressed.

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.1 Build 1446 release notes.

• New option: allow blank schemas in generated SQL, this option is useful for MS SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 users.
• Database and data classes can extend another class.

• Project files can be "compacted".
• Various UI fixes have been made.

Released on January 13 2002

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.1 Build 1445 release notes.

• Code verification has been added. The wizard can check the database for any changes (new columns, deleted columns, ....) against the classes defined in the project file.
• Database scanning can be switched on and off during the day to day use of the wizard. This is especially useful when dealing with large database scheme.

Released on November 16 2001

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.1 Build 1444 release notes.

• Maintenance release.

Released on November 7 2001

JDatabase Wizard Version 1.1, Build 1443 release notes.

• Maintenance release.

• A beta release of bean managed persistence EJB source code generation is included.
• The documentation has been updated to include all the new options in this release.
• JDBC driver paths can now be set within the wizard.
• The option to introspect a selection of Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, or System Tables, has been added. This speeds up the response of the wizard.
• Small UI fixes have been introduced to allow the wizard to work with the JDK 1.4 beta.

• A new checkbox has been added to the Class creation and maintenance tabs: Serializable. When checked, generated data classes implement java.io.Serializable, this allows RMI and EJB to pass database record data to clients or other servers.

• Object names are no longer limited to 50 characters. A class, package, database table... Can all have a name of any length
• Forward compatibility with older versions. The Wizard version is now 1.1, the repository (project file) version is now 2.0. Any file created or opened with this release will not open with previous releases of the wizard.
• Backward compatibility with older versions. This release will happily work with project files created with previous releases. Please note that once opened, a project file will only function with this release (build 1438) or later.

• The user interface of statement editor dialogs has been improved.
• Improved rendition of swing tables.
• Remove newline characters in generated code. The SQL entered, by the user, in statement editor dialogs allow newlines to be entered. The generated Java code now replaces newlines with a space character.
  

• JDatabase Wizzard would not scan databases properly. Some JDBC Drivers throw exceptions when they should not. Whenever this is found, we try to work around the exceptions thrown.
• The database connection panel "trims" the driver class and database url. This removes unwanted spaces when the field values are pasted.
• The License dialog "trims" the serial and key values entered.
• Database table, view and system table columns now have a call name field.
• Database tab: supports stored procedures checkbox added.
• JDBC class properties now highlights fields (in red) which are different to their default values.
• When a new JDBC class is created, the user interface automatically navigates to the created class.
• When creating new classes, it is now possible to specify the database class name, the data class name, and their respective packages.
• JDBC class properties can be assigned server side expressions (such as GetDate()), instead of a JDBC parameter ('?').

All bugs reported to us up to March 23 2001 have been addressed.
