QuickDesk
Direct window and click the Update button to receive the latest
information
about QuickDesk.

3. Sorting modes were added to the Code Completion popup list of the
SQL
Editor. Now you can choose how the items should be sorted in the
list:

view,
procedure etc.). Just right-click on the list to call the local menu
and
switch the sorting mode.
Coloring of the scope categories was also added to the Code
Completion list.

first step
of the wizard, set your username and password, and your database

depending on the
database filename. If there are no registered databases on QuickDesk
launch,

and
"Confirm transaction rollback" on the first page of the Environment
Options.
