Hi there,

On Sunday, October 31, 2023, we'll be shipping a brand-new release of Bytespree. You don't have to do anything; we'll handle the update for you.

Curious about what's changing? We've got a bunch of new features to share!

Data Lake

• You can now drop and rename Foreign Schemas from the Database Manager.
• You can now manually refresh a Foreign Schema from the Database Manager. This will automatically import any new tables or views that have been added to the public schema of the Foreign Database.
• Foreign Databases created in the Database Manager can now be, optionally, made available to Studio Projects
• When attempting to schedule a sync, if it intersects with the server's maintenance window, you will now be shown an error message and will need to choose a new schedule.
• Servers undergoing maintenance will now be disabled when creating a new database.
• Detailed information for views, including columns and dependent views, is now available via the Database Manager.
• Databases in the Data Lake can now be filtered by connector. You can also filter by database name using the provided text box.
• A column containing an insert timestamp can now be added when importing tables via the Database Manager.

Studio

• Studio projects can now be filtered by Connector.
• Any active sort expression will now be shown when opening the Custom Sort dialog and clearing the expression will remove the sort expression from the query
• MSSQL publishers that overwrite a table now publish to a temporary table and only replace the existing table if publishing succeeds.
• The commit history is now retained when renaming a view.

Other

• Permissions are now restored on views when they are rebuilt during a sync.
• The maintenance window of your server can now be seen and modified from the Servers tab of Bytespree Admin
• A permission has been added that gives admins control over the roles that request access to databases.
