4.   With this version you can reduce the amount of time needed to load data for tables and query results. Use the 'Load all rows mode as default' option on the Grid tab of the Environment Options dialog. Note: This mode makes data filtering and sorting inaccessible.

5.   Three new options on the Reports tab of the Environment Options dialog:

Enable multi-line cells - check this option to enable printing of string and memo fields as multi-line cells.

Version 1.2   -   July 16, 2003

1.	We have added a Japanese localization to the DBISAM Manager installation package. Now three languages are available: English, Russian and Japanese. This list will expand from version to version.

2.	Data View: we have added a possibility to set filters for the Grid View. Now you can filter the current data view using drop-down arrows at the right of the column captions.

3.

We have added a possibility to view the field values of Graphic and TypedBinary types to the BLOB Viewer/Editor. Now the BLOB Viewer/Editor allows you to view the content of Graphic and TypedBinary fields on the Images tab, put images into such fields from files and save their content to disk as bitmaps.

4.

Now you can disable requesting live results when you execute a query in the SQL Editor or Visual Query Builder. If you work with live data and want to protect query results from accidental editing, you should switch off the "Request live results for queries" option, available on the Tools tab of the Environment Options dialog. This option also can be temporarily (within current session) switched on/off by the corresponding item of the Execute button drop-down menu in both SQL Editor and Visual Query Builder.

5.	A password for table encryption requires confirmation now. This was made to avoid accidental misprints passwords and later impossibility to open the encrypted table. It is also possible now to decrypt a table by unchecking the "Encrypted with Password" option in the Table Properties dialog.

6.	The Print View on the Table Editor Data tab allows you to save the current report as CSV, TXT, RTF or HTML file now.

7.	New transaction doesn't start automatically anymore after changing data in the Data View unless the "Start transaction automatically after data is changed" option is checked. You can enable or disable this option on the Tools tab of the Environment Options dialog. This option is off by default.

8.	The BLOB field values are extracted to the script as CAST('...' AS MEMO) expression now.

9.	Identifiers appearing in the IN (..) clause are parsed correctly by the Visual Query Builder now.

10.	Fixed bug with printing boolean values in the Print View.

11.	Fixed bug with the incorrect field order in the INSERT statement generated by the Export As Insert dialog.

12.	Some small improvements and minor bugfixes.

Version 1.1   -   June 03, 2003

1.	Since this version, DBISAM Manager does not create separate sessions per each database connection anymore. Now only one session is used for all databases located on the same host. It's very important if your DBISAM server has a limitation on the number of active connections.

2.	The compression and case-sensitivity options are available in the Add/Edit Index dialog now. Both of these options are also represented on the Indices page of Table Editor.

3.	We have implemented support of encrypted tables. Now if such table is selected in the DB Explorer, the password dialog pops up instead of the 'Insufficient rights to table' error.

4.

Transaction behavior was changed in Data View of Table Editor and SQL Editor. Now transaction doesn't start automatically after the result is selected to prevent table locking. Since this version, new transaction starts only after some changes were made and posted or if the Start Transaction button was pushed manually by the user.

5.	Display format for fields of MONEY type was added to the Grid tab of the Environment Options dialog. This field format is available for editing in the Currency Format combo box.

6.	Now bookmarks are used when you choose the Print View tab in the Data View. Now the active record stays active before running print preview and after the print preview is finished.

7.	The 'Access denied to table' error doesn't occur anymore if you try to change the table structure with the Data tab active in Table Editor. Now table automatically closes before restructuring and opens after it is done.

8.	Fixed bug with NOCASE option generated in the index definition by default.

9.	The quick filter works properly in the Grid View now.

10.	Fixed bug with the 'Insufficient rights to table' error during extracting metadata even if the encrypted table isn't selected for extracting.

11.	Fixed bug with creating a log file for import data process in the Import Data Wizard.

12.	Some small improvements and corrections.
