SQL Data Lens 4.00 is out.
The goal of this release was straightforward: make day-to-day work with InterSystems IRIS and Caché a little easier.
Here are the five biggest changes.
→ Query Cloud can now join multiple databases in a single query
SQL Data Lens uses Apache Calcite to federate queries across different sources while pushing filters, joins and aggregations down to each system whenever possible.
IRIS + PostgreSQL + a folder full of CSV files.
One SQL statement.
→ SQL History is now searchable
The old day-by-day tree is gone.
History entries can be sorted, filtered, pinned and exported. Failed and cancelled statements are now included as well, which makes troubleshooting much easier.
→ The SQL Scanner catches even more issues
Foreign key analysis now works for IRIS and Caché.
A new statistics check helps identify stale optimizer statistics, and index recommendations take actual column cardinality into account.
Every finding includes an explanation and a suggested SQL statement.
→ One-click navigation from tables to classes and globals
Class names and global names are hyperlinks now.
Small change. Surprisingly useful.
→ Execution plans are finally readable
Plain text. Selectable. Searchable. Copyable.
DuckDB, PostgreSQL and SQL Server are supported, and Query Cloud can explain its own federated execution strategy through Show Federation Plan.
I also reworked the website and added a transparent comparison with the Management Portal, DBeaver and DataGrip, highlighting the strengths and focus areas of each tool.
SQL & data tooling built for InterSystems IRIS and Caché.
Free download for Windows. No signup required.

If you're working with IRIS, or running a Caché system that's older than some of your colleagues, give it a try and tell me what's missing.
Several features in this release came directly from user feedback.
