Two issues Ive noticed with the database SQL tool in the last two EAPs (RC1 and RC2):
1.) I can no longer execute queries against a MS SQL Server DB - when I run the tool, I get "connection URL is null" in the output window, despite the fact that the URL is set correctly:
jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.84;databaseName=TEST_DB. I can load and view the tables though (via "Refresh Tables" - so the connection and driver are working fine.
2.) I think this is new in 9008: Run something, say a unit test (Ctrl-Alt-F10). Leave the run window open. Run the SQL tool. The SQL tool takes over the run window (and effectively closes the previously open run window), and I can no longer see the previously open Run window (this used to be visible via a tab). Running two SQL tools (two connections to 2 different DBs) opens up two tabs in the run window (so this aspect seems to be working ok)
Environment: Windows XP Pro SP3, JDK 1.6.0_10
