Doug,

Yes, indirectly.

Doug,

Just to clarify my answer: you won't be able to get a list of databases, though.  You will need to *know* which database you want to connect to.

Godfrey,

Still working on it.  If I don't post anything, then that's always the answer.

I was tempted to say "Tim actually finished this 3 weeks ago but he just forgot to tell anyone".

I'm giving ElevateDB some much-needed attention.  EWB got my full-bore attention for almost 2 years, and EDB needs a little catch-up.

I got it.

Just caught up with this post and excited about the new features in 2.05 especially with the new Database manager.

Can I request a feature to allow the new Database manager to provide some way of saving the datasets with the project files and not in a global configuration file so that it provides portability and also backing up datasets configuration to source control. I'm currently using one of the 3rd party tools to manipulate the datasets between various projects.

Anthony,

This is a highly-requested item, so I'll see what I can do.  Right now I'm just trying to get the initial goals for 2.05 completed.
