This is a "Preview release" of Mini SQL Query prior to version 1.0. It includes all updates since the "final beta" release. The main thing left to do is actually add this code to the CodePlex repository. I am looking at using SVN Bridge for that. For now get the source code from the ZIP distributions on CodePlex...

Modified app to use Castle Windsor for dependency injection

The core interfaces used by the application are now created via the Windsor container.  If you are not familiar with this library become so! It is extremely useful. The configuration of components has also been externalized in the "Configuration.xml" file – this make enhancements extremely flexible.
I have not as yet abstracted the schema engine which I would like to do so that it is easily swapped out (the current implementation is pretty basic but very generic!)

General refactoring around core interfaces

I have done a fair bit of tweaking and renaming. Some interfaces have had base interfaces abstracted to increase reusability.

Added allot of hopefully useful commenting

That pretty much says it all – the one thing I would like to see is more “example” code but the source is there so I am not worried.

Implemented simple text searching abilities

This is one of the main things I felt the tool was missing. It's just a basic looping find but it suits me. I have not added "replace" functionality yet but you can achieve this by hitting F3 and “pasting” your replace text! I class that as agile/YAGNI ;-)

Added a "search tools" plug-in under the SDK as an example and find implementation

The search provider and “go to line” implementation were created off the plug-in template as an example and included into the core distribution.

Enhanced the connection strings editor to make use of the providers connection string builder

This was added soon after the final beta release and since then tweaked. It makes use of the connection string builder class provided by each database provider which worked out really well just with the property grid. If the provider does not have an implementation a very generic class is used.

More to do?

The only remaining things that I would really like to see are the display of SQL messages – these are different for each provider so it's just a time thing – not hard at all.
The editor itself does not support batching, e.g. the "GO" syntax. It just means a few changes around the execution of the query and collection of results.
A plain text view of the results would be nice. Currently it's standard data grid only – just the "out of the box" data grid rendering of a dataset.
