The MySQL Windows Experience Team is proud to announce the release of  MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.5 m4. Note that this is a development preview release and not intended for production usage.

MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.5 m4 is the fourth development release of the MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0 series. This series adds support for the new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that combines the strengths of the relational and document models using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/. For more information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL for Visual Studio, and its usage, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-shell-visual-studio.html.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version 5.7.12 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/document-store.html.

You can download MySQL Installer from our official Downloads page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/.

MySQL for Visual Studio can also be downloaded by using the product standalone installer found at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/, under the tab “Development Releases”.

 

Changes in MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.5 (2017-04-24)

Known limitation of this release: MySQL Connections Manager does not save the changes made to the default schema when editing a connection. Use one of the following workarounds to resolve this limitation:

  • For new connections created with MySQL Connections Manager in which a default schema is specified, close MySQL Connections Manager and then reopen it. After performing this action, you can add the connection to the Microsoft Visual Studio Server Explorer.
  • For existing connections, set the default schema with MySQL Workbench.

Functionality Added or Changed

  • Removed Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
  • Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.
  • Added an output pane to the MySQL SQL Editor window. The new MySQL Output pane includes the information that previously appeared in the Messages tab.

Bugs Fixed

  • The MySQL Data Export Tool exported data from the wrong schema when a second schema was selected and then deselected. In addition, all selected schemas were deselected when a single schema was deselected. (Bug #23666666)
  • Script files did not accept most keyboard input after the file was saved for the first time. (Bug #24751945)
  • The Field Type view in the result tab of an executed SQL query did not display field information correctly when the query included a schema name explicitly. (Bug #24601948)
  • The bit() data type was incorrectly implemented as bit(10) for MySQL tables in the Table Designer window.  (Bug #13477821)
