Today Werysoft releases QweryBuilder version 5.1.0. This version contains a few interesting enhancements as well as some bug fixes.

The one enhancement that will be noticeable when first running the application is the Start Page. The purpose of the start page is to give you an opportunity to get started quickly with little effort. You will be presented with a list of your datasources. Along with existing datasources, you will have an option to create a new one. To get started, all you have to do is drag a datasource onto one of the three query window images. Doing this will create your connection and open a new window. That's it, you're ready to go. Alternatively, you can double click on a datasource to connect then click on a query window image, double click on one of the last used files or double click on one of the last viewed database objects.

The Start Page also contains a News and Information section. This is an HTML page that will be maintained by Werysoft. It will be used to display database and Werysoft related news and information. You can, in the options window, change the URL to point to a team blog, company intranet or whatever else you want to view. If you would to view nothing at all, you can blank out the URL in the options window.

Another exciting feature is the script completion notification pop-up. Sometimes you may have to execute a long running script. You may leave the application and have to check back periodically to see if the script has complete. Now, QweryBuilder will notify you when the script is done. This is done in a similar fashion to Outlook and how it displays a new email pop-up at the bottom of your screen. The pop-up that QweryBuilder displays will have a link that will bring you to your script.

Some work has also been done to the Object Browser. You now have more options when right clicking on an object. You can now do things like view table data and execute stored procedures.

Version 5.2.0 is currently being planned and should be just as exciting of a release as version 5.1.0.
