Enhancements
- Shell tool: the built-in commands EXIT, HELP, ?, LIST, and so on didnt work with a semicolon at the end.
- JDK 1.5 is now required to build the jar file. However it is still possible to create a jar file for Java 1.4. For details, see buildRelease.sh and buildRelease.bat. As an alternative, compile using JDK 1.5 or 1.6 and use Retrotranslator to create a Java 1.4 version http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/).
- When deleting or updating many rows in a table, the space in the index file was not re-used in the default mode (persistent database, b-tree index, LOG=1). This caused the index file to grow over time. Workarounds were to delete and re-created the index file, alter the table (add a remove a column), or append ;LOG=2 to the database URL. To disable the change, set the system property h2.reuseSpaceBtreeIndex to false.
- Identifiers with a digit and then a dollar sign didnt work. Example: A1$B.
- MS SQL Server compatibility: support for linked tables with NVARCHAR, NCHAR, NCLOB, and LONGNVARCHAR.
- Android: Workaround for a problem when using read-only databases in zip files (skip seems to be implemented incorrectly on the Android system).
- Calling execute() or prepareStatement() with null as the SQL statement now throws an exception.
- Benchmark: the number of executed statements was incorrect. The H2 database was loaded at the beginning of the test to collect results, now it is loaded at the very end. Thanks to Fred Toussi from HSQLDB for reporting those problems. However the changed do not affect the relative performance.
- H2 Console: command line settings are no longer stored in the properties file. They are now only used for the current process, except if they are explicitly saved.
- Cache: support for a second level soft-references cache. To enable it, append ;CACHE_TYPE=SOFT_LRU (or SOFT_TQ) to the database URL, or set the system property h2.cacheTypeDefault to "SOFT_LRU" / "SOFT_TQ". Enabling the second level cache reduces performance for small databases, but speeds up large databases. It makes sense to use it if the available memory size is unknown. Thanks a lot to Jan Kotek!

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

MySQL Database Server 5.1.35 is a versatile and innovative tool which is designed for enterprise organizations delivering business critical database applications. It gives corporate developers, DBAs and ISVs an array of new enterprise features to make more productive developing, deploying, and managing industrial strength applications. If you need a GUI for MySQL Database, you can download - NAVICAT (MySQL GUI). It supports to import Oracle, MS SQL, MS Access, Excel, CSV, XML or other formats to MySQL.

MySQL Database Server delivers new enterprise features, including: ACID Transactions to build reliable and secure business critical applications. Stored procedures to improve developer productivity. Triggers to enforce complex business rules at the database level. Views to ensure sensitive information is not compromised. Information schema to provide easy access to metadata. Distributed transactions (XA) to support complex transactions across multiple databases.

DSVariables is a FileMaker Pro plugin designed for versions 4.0 to 6.0 and works in 68k, PowerPC, Carbon, and Mac OS X environments. The purpose of the plugin is to allow the database designer to dynamically use live variables in their scripts in order to pass parameters between them. This will eliminate the need for global fields and will work between scripts in different databases.

It has been tested in a real world accounting and inventory system and was used to collapse multiple scripts that called each other back and forth to complete a task between two databases into a single pair where one script set up all needed variables and the other script simply read the values and performed the required work.

The DSVariables plugin file must be dropped into your FileMaker Extensions folder, and FileMaker must be quit and restarted in order for the variable functions to become available. If you are running FileMaker Server, all the client machines must have the plugin in order for scripts using variables to function normally.

BibDesk is a graphical BibTeX-bibliography manager for Mac OS X. BibDesk is designed to help organize and use bibliographic databases in BibTeX .bib format.
In addition to manual typing, BibDesk lets you drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database and automatically opens files downloaded from PubMed. BibDesk also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer and allows for searching your database through several keys.
BibDesk integrates well with TeX for creating citations and bibliographies. This integration includes a Citation search completion service, and drag & drop (cut & paste) support for adding citations to TeX files.
BibDesk includes many features and has a great user interface.
