Hi,

I just discovered that dbentrance is at version1.8 now. I'm still on
version 1.4.

I searched your entire website but couldn't find a download link for
the update.

Can you please mail  me the download link.

Kind regards,

Response:  ==================================
Yes, unfortunately we don't have trial versions linked at the
moment.

The community download is on the main page, and the IDE update
downloads are here:
http://dbentrance.com/downloads/entrance_1_6.dmg for Macintosh
http://dbentrance.com/downloads/entrance.zip   for Linux
http://dbentrance.com/downloads/entrancew.zip for Windows

After backing up your 1.4 version, you can simply drop the new
version in on top of the old.  You will need to remember your serial
number
to install on a new system.  If you have forgotten, email me and I can
send it again.   Release notes are here:

How about some feedback?  How is Entrance working for you?

Thank you very much for your quick replay.

Entrance is the approach I was always looking for. Quick analyses
without the need of exporting into excel an start formatting etc.

I have just two ideas how to improve entrance.
Rotating labels on the X-axis in bar diagrams. My labels are the names
of the sales-team and they are always getting illegible when
compressed.

I am also doing huge Pivot-tables, on large datasets, which are not
possible with excel at all.
But etrance doesn't recognize the output because I am using a mysql
procedure.

Kind regards,

First, if you don't mind, I would like to forward this
to the community site,  without your name.

Rotated bar labels for bar charts is an easy feature to add,
and we will add it.  Meanwhile., the only way Entrance provides
to avoid collisions is with "ONLY", as in
       ONLY 5 AXISLABELS

You can also shortien the labels by doing something like this
in the SELECT:
     LEFT(myLabel, 5)

Procedure support is a lot harder.  You should be able to
define procedures outside Entrance, and use them in plotql scripts
for Entrance, but you can't define them from within a plotql script
for Entrance.    (The plan was to build an Entrance add-in for one of
the
Java IDEs and piggy-back off its parser.  Unfortunately, that isfar
down the
to-do list at this point, unless someone wants to pick up that
