SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of MS SQL Maestro 7.10, a powerful Windows GUI solution for Microsoft SQL Server administration and database development. Please consider the list of new features implemented in this version since the last official release:

• Now it is possible to cancel a long-running query execution (SQL Server 2005) and/or data fetching (all SQL Server versions).
  
  
• This version has been successfully tested with SQL Server 2008 July CTP.
  
  
• The Backup Database tool has been implemented (Main Menu | Tools | Backup Database). You can back up a whole database, files and file groups, transaction logs, etc. It is possible to execute the result command immediately or create a scheduled job. Also the Show Contents command has been added to the backup device popup menu.
  
  
• Attach and Detach wizards are now available in the Database menu.

• Data Grid: Unicode data are now displayed rightly.
  
  
• Database Designer: now you can drag a schema in the Explorer tree or Object Browser and drop it in the Designer window: all schema tables will be added to the current diagram. Also we have implemented the Note and Text tools to decorate the diagrams.
  
  
• It is now possible to execute SQL scripts after connect and before disconnect to/from a database.
  
  
• Now our software displays execution time for lengthy operations.

In addition to this, several bugs have been fixed and some other minor improvements and corrections have been made.
