What's New in PostgreSQL Manager for Windows?

2. We have implemented the new Trigger Editor.  
 
3. We have added a new tool - Report Designer. It is a powerful tool for designing reports visually.  
 
4. The connection speed is significantly increased with the 'Show table subobjects' option on.

11. Script is being generated correctly now on updating a table record.  
 
12. Program doesn't hang up any more on changing metadata if a table is open and "Use transaction" option is disabled.

16. The TIMESTAMP fields can be edited without any errors now on the Form View tab.

What's New in PostgreSQL Manager for Linux?  

1.   Now you can view the dependencies of the database objects at the appropriate editor tabs. The Environment Options dialog contains two new options on the Tools tab: 'Automatically expand dependencies' and 'Don't show empty object categories in dependencies'.
   
2.   Transactions in grids: In order to decrease a probability of other programs' hang up on editing table editors in PostgreSQL Manager, we have added a possibility to disable transactions in grids. For this purpose 'Use transaction' option on the Tools tab of the Environment Options dialog is provided. If it is on, the grid works as in previous versions: the transaction is active until the grid is closed or the Commit button is pressed; all edited records are blocked until the transaction commit. If this option is off, then the transaction starts and immediately commits (autocommit) on saving each record, which is blocked only for a little time period.
   
3.   We have added the statement timeout support for working with server v7.3. You can customize timeouts on the Tools page of the Environment Options dialog. Timeouts are necessary for preventing program hang-up when executing the SQL statement due to the transaction interlocking
   
4.   Now on error in query SQL Editor tries to find the position of the error in the SQL statement.
   
5.   Export as Insert is being called properly now from the SQL Editor.
   
6.   SQL Editors: Now you can disable the Smart Tabs mode (when the tab positions are set according to the space characters in the previous non-empty lines). The appropriate options are added to the Editor Options dialog.
   
7.   Fixed bug with incorrect saving comments and formatting during saving query in the SQL Editor.

8. Some small corrections and improvements.
