Visual SQL
The new stand-alone executable (vdbasql) for Visual SQL displays the following window.
This window allows all the functionality of the previous SQL/Test window in VDBA, but has the following additional toolbar controls:
• New combo-boxes for choosing a node, server class, and impersonated user. (The equivalent function is provided in VDBA through the branch chosen in the nodes tree when launching an SQL/Test window.)
• A Commit button that allows you to directly commit the current transaction without the need to type commit in the query area.
• An Options button that provides access to the properties of the SQL Test control. (This is equivalent to the SQL/Test Preferences in previous VDBA releases, plus the session timeout parameter that was global to VDBA.)
In addition, the status bar now provides the autocommit state of the transaction.
