What's New - SQL DXP Premium

This page summarizes the most important SQL DXP Premium changes from the Version 6 and Version 7 release notes. It focuses on capability, support, workflow, and readiness rather than generic bug-fix entries.

Version 7 highlights

  • Version 7 release focus: the first Version 7 release was made available to meet current customer demand while Oracle-specific guidance continues to be refreshed.
  • Project editing and usability: Version 7 improves dialog display, edit project display, data compare project editing, running-project display, tab handling, Ctrl+Tab behavior, and keyboard handling.
  • Automation and scripting: Version 7 improves command line processing, adds asynchronous multi-project execution, improves On Completion handling, and improves script sorting and large script performance.
  • Display and platform updates: Version 7 adds 32-bit and 64-bit delivery, dark mode and theme support, better High DPI behavior, a new tab manager, and general stability improvements.
  • Current guidance: SQL Server and MySQL-focused Version 7 work can use this help as a first-pass guide. For Oracle-focused work, use the established Version 6 guidance until the refreshed Oracle pages are ready.

Important late Version 6 additions

  • SQL Server 2022 support: added in September 2023.
  • MySQL 8+ and MariaDB support: late 2021 notes explicitly improve support for MySQL 8+ and MariaDB.
  • Oracle 19c support: added in August 2020, with Oracle 18c fixes and a run of Oracle scripting improvements continuing through 2022.
  • Encryption and compare options: DXP Version 6 gained the same encryption-related compare options, persistent tabs, Schema View search and sorting, and keyboard improvements added across the Version 6 code line.
  • Cross-platform workflow improvements: releases continue to improve mapping, column matching, recreate-table handling, dependency analysis, and data compare export and display behavior.
