16 October 2024 - online purchases have been disabled.

Due to problems with our online reseller MyCommerce / Digital River, we have disabled the ability to order AQT licenses online.

We are working on a solution and will post a message when we have an alternate method in place.

In the meantime, you can continue to purchase AQT licenses by placing a Purchase Order on ourselves.

20 September 2024 - AQT v10.1.1 and TLS 1.2.

Important note for users running AQT v10.1.1.

AQT v10.1.1 uses TLS 1.0/1.1 when communicating with our Activation Server. Even if you are not activating, this will still be done as AQT regularly pings our server.

TLS 1.0/1.1 has been deprecated and is replaced with TLS 1.2. We moved to using TLS 1.2 in AQT v10.1.2

Microsoft has indicated that at some stage it will disable TLS 1.0/1.1. If so, this can cause AQT to crash on startup. AQT will not be able to run. Do not wait for this to happen.

We strongly recommend that AQT v10.1.1 users upgrade to AQT v10.1.2 asap. Download it from here.

Better still, upgrade to AQT v11. This issue highlights the risk of not remaining current with your AQT version. Other security issues may arise which we won't be able to fix in older versions of AQT. Do not wait for this to happen.

31 August 2024 - AQT v11.0.7

We are currently working on AQT v11.0.7.

We have been doing some work on the Run Procedure window and improving support for procedures for various databases.

  • when procedures return a result-set, AQT will now display this on the Run Procedure window, rather than on a separate display window. AQT can handle procedures returning multiple result-sets.
  • the Run Procedure window will now be able to run functions as well as procedures. This feature has been configured for DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Snowflake.
  • AQT will be able to run Oracle Package sections. This includes both procedure and function sections.
  • AQT will be able to handle MySQL / MariaDB procedures which return OUT parameters. For these databases, OUT parameters are returned in session pseudo-variables; AQT will display these.
  • AQT will be able to run Snowflake procedures. Running these has proved problematic due to various bugs in the Snowflake ODBC Driver or server. We have managed put in workarounds for these bugs and are able to run procedures successfully.
  • AQT will be able to run PostgreSQL procedures and functions which return a refcursor. AQT will automatically read the refcursor and display the results.

14th August 2023 - Support for AQT v10 has expired

As per our support policy, we continue to support a version for one year following the release of a subsequent version. As AQT v11 was released in August 2022, support for AQT v10 has now ended.

The new features of AQT v11 are given here.

To continue running a supported version, we strong recommend that users upgrade to AQT v11.
