A new version (1.1) of the Database Query plugin is now available. The
new functionality and changes are:
- Corrected Composer/Conductor roles which were switch in Artists
query
- Added "Number of" column to all "Inconsistency/Problems" queries
- Added possibility to show years and artists in "Albums" query.
- Added support for clickable queries, as an example this makes it
possible to click an a problem in the "Inconsistency/Problems" query
and see exactly which tracks/artists the problem is related to.
- Added "Structured XML" export module which allows you to export a
hierarchical XML document. For example a XML document that lists all
artists and for each artist lists its albums and for each album its
tracks.
- Added "Free form query" which makes it simple to write a custom query
using a SQL statement of your choice
- Added Edit link on top of result page to make it easy to adjust query
after you have viewed the result.
- Added Execute button in bottom of page when editing the attributes of
a query, very usable in the new "Free form query".

If someone is good at writing XSL transformations, please try to use
the new "Structured XML" export together with a XSL transformation to
create nice graphical reports of the SlimServer database contents. The
"Artists" query is probably a good query to do the export from since
the XML document then will contain all artists, albums and tracks in
the SlimServer database.

NOTE!
- It only works on slimserver 6.5.*
- I've only tested it on Linux, but I'm pretty sure it should work on
Windows too.
- At the moment my intention is not to develop this plugin any more
besides bug fixes and my own needs. So, if anyone finds it useful for
something, please let me know and I will reconsider if I should enhance
it with more features.

You will find the plugin at my 'download page'
(http://erland.homeip.net/download) as usual.

The current wish/todo list for new features in comming Multi Library
releases can be found here:

If anyone tests this plugin I would appreciate some feedback about how
it works and wishes for new features and improvement of existing
features.
