GOLD Version 1.5.0.5 released 5th November 2008

Enhancement : To support HyperFile, we had to create a new independent executable just for the Wizard and we added a new Setup - Settings parameter to let you define if you need working on those Files (to open either or Wizards).

Enhancement : In all Table reading we increased the number of columns from 999 to 9999 as it could result in column names being badly reported and GPF's during a cloning process.

Enhancement : To support HyperFile, we had to create a new independent executable just for the Wizard so as to access those Tables so now all this side is completely outside the tool and can be called as often as necessary without causing errors.

Enhancement : In the Viewer when a table is not fully compliant with DMC standards (Multi Columned PK or no PK) opened up all Viewer features but disconnected the Save to File only.
