SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of MS SQL Maestro 9.4, a
complete GUI tool for SQL Server 7/2000/2005/2008 administration and
development. The new version is immediately available at

http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/mssql/maestro/

What's new in this version
=========================

1. SQL Editor: support for explicit transaction management has been
implemented. Now you can execute queries either in autocommit mode (default
behavior) or manage transactions manually.

2. Get SQL Dump wizard now can generate multi-row INSERT statements
supported by SQL Server 2008.

3. Field Editor: now it is possible to pick some predefined default values
such as CURRENT_USER for VARCHAR columns or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for DATETIME
columns from the list instead of entering them manually.

4. Starting with this version MS SQL Maestro determines if a table column is
a foreign key for another table.

5. Data Export wizard has been significantly improved. Now you can export
data to Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007,
OpenDocument Spreadsheed, and OpenDocument Text file formats and select the
result file encoding (ANSI, UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, OEM, and Mac). Also the
wizard has been completely redesigned to increase the usability.

6. Data Import wizard has been updated too. Now you can import data from
Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office Access 2007 file formats,
import CSV and Text data files stored in different encodings, empty the
target table as well as execute custom SQL scripts before and after import.
This wizard also has been completely rewritten; moreover, the speed of the
import process has been significantly increased.

7. Visual Query Builder has been dramatically improved. Now it can produce
INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements as well as the SELECT statements
containing subqueries and/or UNIONs.

8. Trigger Editor: the Code Completion feature becomes available for the
INSERTED and DELETED keywords.

9. SQL Editor: starting with this version MS SQL Maestro highlights the
error line after executing an erroneous query.

10. An Italian localization is now included into the installation package.

11. Data grid: starting with this version it is possible to allow displaying
row numbers in grids.

12. Tabbed MDI interface: a popup menu has been added to each tab.

In addition to this, several bugs have been fixed and some other minor
improvements and corrections have been made. Full press-release (with
