October 5, 2006 - Super*SQL Version 1.10 in Beta Test

The new version of Super*SQL is now in Beta testing. Boasting a much cleaner user interface with a connection definition tab and improved handling of schemas and connections, this will be an ungrade that you don't want to miss. Version 1.10 provides better cross database query capabilities through an enhanced clipboard which will, for example, allow you to query an Oracle database using selections taken from a SQL Server database. The current plan is to do a commercial release November 1, 2006.

Super*SQL allows you to browse SQL databases, extract data, and write attractive web-based reports against almost any database quickly and easily. Several new features have been incorporated based upon user feedback. The SuperSQL.jar file can now be down-loaded directly and used for free for a limited time. If you wish to register the product, the price for Super*SQL Personal Edition is $US9.95 and product updates are free. Check the About Super*SQL Section of this website for more information on the product.
