New DB Support in DTP for Galileo...

Image via WikipediaHey All!

Yes, it's been a while. But things are starting to hop with DTP for Galileo.

Our DTP 1.7 release will include some support for new databases and some updated support for existing ones...

• Ingres has been kind enough to contribute their plug-ins for Ingres DB support in DTP for Galileo and we finally have them as part of our regular build.
• I added some rudimentary SQLite support recently and that's now part of the regular build.
• And Ivar and our friends at NexB were kind enough to contribute some big updates to our Microsoft SQL Server support, including new support for SQL Server 2008.

So big thanks to Ingres and NexB for making those contributions possible!

More changes are going in all the time as well... Enhancements and bug fixes mostly, but some new features as well.

Be sure to check out our M4 milestone build here for some early access!

Eclipse's e4 vs. Microsoft's e7

Hey all...

This is slightly off topic... But I just saw an interesting post over at PC Magazine's site... Evidently the Microsoft Windows 7 team has created a new blog (you can see it here) and the shorthand term for Windows 7 is e7.

Isn't it kind of odd in the year when e4 is getting ramped up for Eclipse that Microsoft would also have their own "e" term for a release? I guess there *are* only 26 letters in the alphabet... So there's a *chance* (small, but there) it was random...

Anybody else have any thoughts?
