Product News from the Core Team

This blog features product news right from the core developer team, once new features and functions get checked into Subversion, available as Continuous Build every 2 hours.

ObjectManager 2.0 Preview

ObjectManager is a GUI application which gives a complete view of what's inside your database and to query and manipulate your data. The new version is a total rewrite which reflects many user requests such as:

Ad-hoc querying

You can now create queries quickly and easily using a string syntax similar to SQL.




Handles large data sets efficiently

Optimized table view allows you to view large query results without using a lot of memory.


Table view for quick scrolling through large data sets


Tree view for drilling down through an object graph


Easy Database Management Functions


Connection Manager to make connecting to your database easy

Connect to local and remote databases and your previous connections will be remembered for quick access.


And more...

  • Java Web Start enabled so you will always have the latest updates, automatically
  • Internal database information including stored classes, size and indexes

You can try it now at: http://www.db4objects.net/om/

Not sure if this is the best method to provide feedback or whether I should post a message to the forum or perhaps you have a special email address setup?

Anyway, I have taken a very quick look and here is some feedback.

(1) My application, which is based around appointments, uses times which are stored as Date fields with the date portion set to the Epoch date of 1/Jan/1970.  Unfortunately the query results only show the date portion and not the time portion.  Ideally, I would like just the time portion displayed in the correct time zone.  However, as this is probably not possible I think as a minimum any date should display both the date and time portions.  Perhaps annotations could be used here to indicate when a date field is used to store date / time / or date and time.

(2) I have two separate databases with different data stored in each.  After I looked at one database I connected to the second database but the tree in the object manager still showed the classes from the first database.  Although querying the database showed the correct data.  So I think the tree view just needs to be refreshed.

(3) There does not seem to be a way to change the objects in the database.  Either by deleting an entire object or by changing primitive data values such as boolean and integer fields.  Is this feature going to be available?

Generally, though it looks very impressive, well done to everyone involved.

Kind regards

Looks nice.   But...

The query does not seem to work with my .NET objects.  Example Query:

FROM NetFlix.Movie, NetFlix

Response:

Error Executing Query!  Class not stored.

When I try with the generated demo database, it works fine.  The objects in that database seem to be named simpler though, i.e. without the ", NetFlix".  Perhaps that is a clue.

Thanks for the feedback guys.  

graphi:

1) http://tracker.db4o.com/jira/browse/OMR-46

2) I can't reproduce this so it appears to be fixed now.

3) You can edit fields by double clicking a cell in the results table (the next release will allow you to edit from the object tree view too).

DukeyToo: .NET queries are fixed in the sources and will be fixed in the next release coming out this week.
