Server management extensions:

  • symmetric and asymmetric keys management (Microsoft SQL Server 2005);
  • support of certificates and credentials provided (Microsoft SQL Server 2005);
  • support of logins based on certificates and asymmetric keys (Microsoft SQL Server 2005).

Interface improvements:

  • we have implemented the Object Browser tool, which operates like Object Manager, but includes some additional features such as properties grouping, filtering, and sorting. For example it is easy to find all the tables, which have more than 10 fields or all the domains based on VARCHAR type in a few mouse clicks. You can also open several objects' editors simultaneously as well as drop all the selected objects by a single operation;
  • all the system objects such as master or msdb objects now can be displayed in different colors (purple by default). A color can be set in the Options window (the Explorer tab);
  • connected databases are now displayed in bold everywhere (object editors, Object Manager, Object Browser etc);
  • Describe Object command is now included into the popup menu of each objects as well as into navigation bars. Use it to specify the object's comment without opening its editor.
