SQL Scripts

[kurtmwa]

We are looking at purchasing your installer product. However there are some features that would be nice, mainly better management of SQL scripts.

Our system on install will run the scripts into 2 databases (live and training). The problem is that you have to add them 1 by 1 in the GUI. If I'm doing an update with 50 scripts and I have to add them twice (once for each environment) its a lot of wasted clicks. A few useful defaults would help alot.

1) Add a default statement seperator in the connection object, so I don't have to type GO for every script.
2) Let me select multiple scripts at once instead of 1 at a time.
3) Default the script name to the file name.
4) Folders for grouping of scripts would be nice. No effect when the scripts are run but just allowing some sort of organisation rather than 1 long list.

Also is there somewhere I can get a change log between versions? I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2 but can't find anything that said what changed.

Hi,

We will consider including these features in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestions.

Also is there somewhere I can get a change log between versions?

You can see what new features, improvements and bugfixes are included in a new Advanced Installer version on this page:
http://advancedinstaller.com/version-history.html

Also, you can use our news page:
http://advancedinstaller.com/news.html

Another way is to update Advanced Installer from within the application (for example you use the "Help" -> "Check for updates" menu. When a new version is available, the Updater windows will contain the changes made in it.

Regards,
