RELY property for Snowflake constraints

Snowflake constraints (PK, FK, AK) support RELY in reverse/forward engineering and object properties. The RELY property is a keyword included in the constraint definition and acts as a hint for the Snowflake optimizer to rely on the integrity of the constraint and perform join elimination on views and redundant queries. An article describing how RELY can improve query cost and performance is available here.

Dashboard project search

Our latest release adds search functionality to the project dashboard. SqlDBM users can now find the project they are looking for faster by typing all or part of the name into the search bar at the top of the page. Search results include personal and shared projects as well as branch names from those with concurrent working.

Change column order in edit mode

SqlDBM’s visual modeling interface lets users rearrange or clone columns in or across tables by simply clicking and dragging. Now, the same functionality is also available in the single-table edit mode. Using the handles to the left of a column, users can drag to rearrange column order or ctrl+drag to clone existing columns while editing a table.

January

Databricks support

SqlDBM is excited to partner with Databricks and provide native support for Databricks projects-offering collaboration, visibility, and cataloging, all in the cloud. Databricks provides the management and performance of a data warehouse with the flexible object store of a data lake.

Support alter script for Oracle

Oracle projects were released in open Beta last month and enhancements are already rolling out. Alter scripts for Oracle projects are now available in our latest release. Be on the lookout for additional improvements like views support and conversion to other project types, as we work diligently to bring Oracle projects out of Beta and into full support.

REST API for Enterprise users

A secure API for programmatically accessing SqlDBM projects is finally here-opening the door to unlimited integration potential. We’ve also been hard at work enhancing the recently-released Oracle project feature, which now supports alter scripts.

November

Oracle projects are now fully supported in SqlDBM

Oracle, the world’s biggest database platform by market share, is now available in SqlDBM as a supported project type. Enjoy familiar features like reverse and forward engineering, atler scripts, and revision compare with Oracle-native syntax and properties.

October

Concurrent working for Enterprise users

The entire project team can now work collaboratively and in parallel without having to lock a project. Changes made in any branch can be compared before merging to main and synchronized with any new updates that happen meanwhile. It’s everything you’ve come to appreciate with git, built right into SqlDBM.

AlloyDB support

AlloyDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible database service for demanding enterprise database workloads that combines the best of Google Cloud Platform with one of the most popular open-source database engines. AlloyDB is more than 4X faster than standard PostgreSQL for transactional workloads and 100X faster for analytical queries.
