Hello everyone! We are delighted to announce that the official release of Version 13 is now available at SeeQR!
SeeQR is an open source software management platform specifically designed for SQL databases. Our platform enables developers to efficiently create, manage, and optimize their databases and queries. Developers have the capability to access the interactive relational diagram and performance metrics for queries, which enhances the user experience and improves efficiency.
Our Team is proud to introduce SeeQR Version 13! This launch introduces a newly enhanced platform for our end users. Our Team restructured the ER Diagram, implemented a new core feature to save query histories, and performed additional testing.
Let’s dive into the new features we implemented in Version 13!
Restructured ER Diagram View
Our team decided to enhance the user-friendliness of the ER Diagram view through restructuring. By implementing this approach, we were able to increase the visibility of the ER Diagram by providing a larger screen view to the user. We have also made the decision to consolidate all of the buttons onto a single screen for greater accessibility. In our previous iterations, users faced the inconvenience of being unable to save their table layout. However, in the latest version 13, users now have the capability to do so! This means that the layouts will no longer revert to its original format when transitioning between tabs within the application.
Implementing Query History
Users now have the ability to track their query history. When users create a new query, it will be automatically saved in the drop-down box for previous queries, and will also be auto-populated in the code editor when a previous query is selected. This functionality allows users to easily navigate back and forth between their queries by simply selecting a previously created one. Our team also made the decision to migrate from Code Mirror to Monaco Editor. Monaco Editor supported various languages and extensions used in VS Code, while Code Mirror was selective. This decision enabled us to incorporate query formatting and implement a color-coded system to facilitate user-friendly query creation.
Performance Improvements and Bug Fixes
In addition to implementing new features, our team also prioritized improving the performances and addressing bug issues. Our team successfully addressed a couple of bug issues, such as importing files into the database. Users were required to create a database name, but the system would override it with the file name if the file contained special keywords. We resolved this issue by refactoring the code that would recognize these keywords. Another issue involved the “add column” feature in the ER Diagram view to remain expanded. We were able to fix this bug issue and now the “add column” feature functions as intended. Our team is dedicated to continuously enhancing our platform to better serve our end users!
