- Now it's possible to hide the Design Pane and build queries without it.
- Swapping the Query Structure Tree and the Database Schema Tree with each other is possible now.
API changes:
- QueryBuilder properties have been reorganized into several options groups. Read more...
- Metadata Container is completely reworked to eliminate the need for pre-loading of metadata. All the necessary information about database structure is loaded on-demand now. The container is capable of storing all possible types of artifacts, such as linked servers, packages, custom aggregates, etc. Read more...
- Metadata Structure object is made to abstract from the physical structure of the database when displaying objects in the Database Schema Tree. Read more...
- The new editor of Metadata Container and Metadata Structure allows for setting up the database objects representation for the end-user the way you like.
- The list of used database objects and fields (QueryStatistics) can be obtained now for most of the query objects: sub-queries, datasources, query column list expressions.
- The SyncSQL property has been removed. The SQL property now updates the visual controls immediately, not on the next message cycle.
- Last but not least: the property reference is available for most parts of the component.
