This is the first release version of SQLEditor.
SQLEditor For Mac OS X is a program to help you work with databases. Relational databases are the main type of database that SQLEditor supports, however other types can also be used.
SQLEditor allows you to create, import, view, edit and export database structures. You can use it to create diagrams of databases showing the logical layout of objects within the database. You can save images of databases to use on webpages or in documents. You can also import and view the structure of live databases via JDBC
SQLEditor for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or better
Mac OS X 10.3 is strongly recommended
To use JDBC support you need a database with a JDBC driver
It is recommended to update the latest available version of java
The default table type in MySQL does not process or store foreign key information in most versions. To get foreign key support in MySQL you need to use the INNODB table type. If you do not use this table type then you may not be able to use foreign key support and this information will not be available if you later decide to export the structure back into SQLEditor, either by dumping using mysqldump or by direct import via jdbc
SQLEditor is not free. You can try it free for 30 days but after that you should buy a license for continued use. Buying a license gives you technical support and removes the registration reminder dialog box at startup. It also means that you're supporting further development and provides support for a small software developer.

This is the first release that asks for a serial number. All issued serial numbers should work, but if you have a serial number that doesn't seem to work please ensure that the name and serial code are entered exactly as provided to you. If this still doesn't work please contact support@malcolmhardie.com and we'll sort the problem out
SQLEditor will automatically check for a new release when you start up and if you select the relevent option from the application menu. If you want to disable the automatic checking you can do so using an option in the preferences window.
During the version check no information is sent to us. The program simply downloads a file from our servers and checks the data in the file against it's own version number. If you have any concerns about this please contact us (below) or turn the feature off
