DBX 10.1.8 Released

Minor  update in this version:

• when launching the SQL*Exec window from the table or view detail page, the populated sql now has the columns [bracketed] (by request)
• increased the default size of the textarea in the SQLExec window since although its actually sizable by way of resizing the frames, the frames are difficult to see/resize

Also, it seems that RIAForge still suffers from its frequent downtime, so I've added a new alternate download link for DBX on the Projects page.

DBX 10.1.7 Released

Changes in this version:

- added explicit identification of SQL2008 (would previously fail with 'unsupported version')
- fixed stylesheet references when printing tabs

While I don't have an available SQL2008 instance to test against, to the best of my knowledge all of the SQL2005-specific routines in DBX should work fine in SQL2008.  If anyone experiences issues with SQL2008, file a bug report at riaforge and I may just have to suck it up and create an instance somewhere (I'm reticent to create a SQL2008 instance on one of my dev boxes as we are homogeneously SQL2005, and its probable there would be some kind of an impact on the integrity of an already installed instance of 2005 - guessing).

DBX 10.1.6 Released

Nathan Strutz pointed out a bug where DBX would not run from a site running on a port other than 80.  This stemmed from a cross-site scripting fix added in v10.1.3 which did not consider the port.  This has been resolved.

Other changes in this version:
- added print button to server and database panes
- changed button text on secondary nav to allow the current layout to work at 1024x768
- fixed issue where data sample tab would not display all columns if it rendered wider than current window size

I think I'm getting very close to a complete overhaul; the UI is dated and very restrictive by now (and I've been meaning to add support for other rdbms's for years, as well).  The button renaming noted above was due to not having enough space to comfortably display all the options at smaller resolutions, and while I don't think the change creates any problems per se, I can't say I'm totally delighted with having to abbreviate text merely to get it all to fit - definitely a sign that things must be redone.
