Redesigned HTML export

We've completely reworked how HTML export works in Dataedo:

  • You no longer have to choose between local and hosted templates
  • Export time has been greatly improved, especially for bigger documentations
  • Initial loading of the file is shorter
  • The pages are more responsive
  • Multiple bugs have been removed

The HTML Export is now a single page application rather than a set of static HTML files as previously. Note that these changes make old custom templates incompatible - they need to be recreated from the current template.

CLR Function and procedure import from SQL Server

Some of our users contacted us saying that they're using CLR (assembly) functions and procedures in SQL Server, which were not previously imported by Dataedo.

In Dataedo 7.4 we've added support for CLR functions and procedures, and they should now correctly import.

  • Solved issues related to updating MySQL documentations with a renamed schema
  • Pages opened from Search tab are now more responsive
