MS SQL Maestro 7.3 released

Mar 7, 2007

SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of MS SQL Maestro 7.3, a powerful Windows GUI solution for Microsoft SQL Server administration and database development.

Please consider the list of new features implemented in MS SQL Maestro 7.3 since last official release:

Server management extensions:

• Support of the partitioning features is implemented (SQL Server 2005). In particular, the new version allows you to:
  
  
  • create, edit and drop partition functions including range merging;
    
    
  • create, edit and drop partition schemes;
    
    
  • specify partition scheme as a dataspace for tables and indexes.
    
    
• Since this version it is possible to specify command timeout (in seconds) in the Options dialog;
  
  

• The main feature of the new version is the Graphical Database Designer - a case tool for managing your database in a few mouse clicks. This piece of our software is intended for creation of physical Entity Relationship Diagrams that represent objects in your Microsoft SQL databases. Each diagram displays the tables of your database and the relationships between them;
  
  
  • Handy tools of Designer allow you to create new and edit existing tables and references;
    
    
  • The reverse engineering feature will help you to understand the schema structure and make its modification in an easy and clear way;
    
    
  • Now you can quickly and easily print your database structure with a lot of options including header and footer, paper size and orientation, etc;
    
    
  • A rich set of options and settings give you a way to see your database in your own look and feel style.
    
    

  A diagram of your database can help you define operational aspects of your application logic that you might otherwise overlook. Also, a well-defined data diagram that accurately represents your tasks can be helpful in orienting employees to goals and operations.

• SQL Editor: now MS SQL Maestro can edit even very large SQL files. Also the speed of editor's work has been significantly improved;
  
  
• SQL Editor: queries' tabs can now been displayed at the all sides of the editor (bottom, top, left or right);
  
  
• The hint for foreign keys now contains such information as foreign table name and field correspondence.
  
  

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