ANN: dbext.vim version 21.00 - Database access from within Vim

What is it?
-----------
dbext.vim : Provides database access to most databases.

This plugin contains functions/mappings/commands to enable Vim to
access several databases. Currently Mysql, PostgreSQL, Ingres, Oracle,
Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise,
Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, RDB,  SAP HANA and Interbase are supported.
If you have a Perl enabled Vim, it also allows database connections via
DBI and ODBC.

It abstracts database access, so the same Vim commands will produce
the same output regardless of the database you use.

Extensive help file with full tutorials.


What is new in 21.00?


New Features
------------
- Added new database, SAP Sybase IQ.

- Added ability to describe SAP HANA stored procedures using DBI/ODBC.

- Added new command, DBProfilesRefresh, which will repopulate the profile list from your global variables without having to restart Vim.

- Updated dbext profiles and modelines to accept special characters (\t) as the column delimiter for DBI connections (Josef Fortier).
                                                                              
Bug Fixes
---------
- Sometimes after setting a connection profile would still prompt you the first time you attempted to use the connection.

- For PostgreSQL, check for .pgpass on *nix variants and pgpass.conf on windows (Collin Peters).

- Some connection parameters were overridden incorrectly when first applying the dbext_default_profile (Lyude, Martin Chabot, Will Wyatt, Bruno Sutic).

- Worked around an issue with the vim-gitgutter dbext plugin (airblade).

- There were 3 places where we fetch Vim's variables to check for dbext profiles and other dbext settings.  These have changed these to fetch only Vim's global variables to reduce the amount returned and hopefully increase the response time (Michael Jansen). 



I am always open to suggestions, just email me.  See :h dbext.txt for contact details.
