Release Details
Product FeaturesDatabase DevOpsNew Features
  • Database Version Management: Added database version management. For MySQL databases with version management enabled, the system automatically collects DDL changes for the database and saves them as a version. Change scripts and rollback scripts can be generated between different versions.
  • Stored Procedure Debugging (Oracle): Added support in the SQL Console for compiling and debugging stored procedures, functions, and package objects in Oracle databases. For objects with compilation errors, detailed error information is provided. Supports setting breakpoints, step-by-step execution, and procedure-by-procedure debugging.
  • Data Export (MongoDB): Added support for exporting MongoDB data. JSON files can be exported via SQL statements.
  • MySQL Lock Wait Management: Added SQL execution lock wait configuration rules, allowing you to set lock wait timeouts and retry counts to avoid lock contention caused by task changes, ensuring database change safety.
  • OpenAPI Extensions: Added 11 new OpenAPI endpoints, covering account management, user management, role management, operation auditing, and data source permissions.
Enhancements
  • OnlineDDL Non-locking Changes: Added lock wait timeout and retry management for the instant algorithm in OnlineDDL non-locking table structure changes. During changes, you can now view replayed incremental log counts, replay delays, binlog positions, and response delays.
