Release notes for version 2.0.7 on July 4, 2011
Templates
This version of FlowHeater introduces support for templates for the first time. Any FlowHeater Definition can now be saved as a Template using the menu option "File -> Save as a Template ..." As many Template files as you wish may be saved this way, catering for the most diverse of requirements. The storage location of Template files is freely selectable. The file extension for a Template file is .fhdt (FlowHeater Definition Template).
Database transactions
Release notes for version 2.0.6 on June 20, 2011
Database transactions
The WRITE Adapter property AutoCommitAfter allows you to control how FlowHeater builds import/update transactions when writing to a database.- 0 = a single transaction is used for the complete import/update process (default)
- X = (a number) after each X rows are written, an AutoCommit is executed
- -1 (new) no database transactions are used
The new (-1) option disables database transactions (each row is effectively committed as soon as it is written) and this is useful when used together with the ODBC Adapter or OleDB Adapter when the underlying ODBC/OleDB database or driver cannot cope with database transactions.
