ANN: PostgreSQL Data Wizard 9.12 released

Hi!

SQL Maestro Group announces the release of PostgreSQL Data Wizard 9.12, a
powerful Windows GUI solution for PostgreSQL data management.

PostgreSQL Data Wizard provides you with a number of easy-to-use wizards to
convert any ADO-compatible database to the PostgreSQL database, import data
into PostgreSQL tables, export data from tables, views and queries to most
popular file formats as well as generate data-driven ASP.NET pages for your
PostgreSQL database.

The new version is immediately available for download at
http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/postgresql/datawizard/download/

New features
=================

1. Data Import: now you can import data from XML, Microsoft Office Excel
2007 and Microsoft Office Access 2007 file formats along with Microsoft
Office Excel 97-2003, Microsoft Office Access, CSV, DBF, and Text files
supported in the previous versions. Also starting with this version you can
import Text and CSV data files stored in different encodings.

2. Data Import: now it is possible to empty target tables as well as execute
custom SQL scripts before and after the import.

3. Data Import: an ability of using the COPY command has been implemented.
This feature can speed up the import process up to 10 times.

4. Data Import: the wizard has been completely redesigned to improve the
look and feel and increase the usability.

5. Data Export: support for Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office
Word 2007, OpenDocument Spreadsheed, and OpenDocument Text file formats has
been implemented. Also now it is possible to select the result file
encoding. This wizard also has been completely redesigned.

6. Datapump: the conversion rules for fields and indexes become more
intelligent, so starting with this version most of source databases from
well-known DBMS can be transferred even with default settings (or with a
small customization). Also the speed of data transfer has been significantly
increased.

7. Starting with this version it is possible to connect to a remote server
via SSH tunnel using a key-based authentication (in addition to the
password-based authentication supported in the previous versions). To
establish a remote connection in this way, you have to provide a private key
(either in ssh.com or OpenSSH formats) and (optionally) a passphrase. This
version also introduces support for both SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols (whereas
all the previous versions supported only SSH-1).

8. An Italian localization is now included into the installation package.

In addition to this, several bugs have been fixed and some other minor
improvements and corrections have been made. Full press-release is available
