What is new in SQList ver. 6.1.1.0

Version 6.1.1.0 of SQList is a minor update; you can therefore upgrade for free if you have a licensed version 6.x. To download the latest version of SQList visit http://www.axioworks.com/sqlist-download/

There are no breaking changes in this release.

See below a summary of the changes.

Better handling of folder changes 

SharePoint does not log changes for items contained if folders that are updates of deleted and those were missed by SQList. In version 6.0.2.0 we fixed that by forcing a full re-sync of the list but, while it is fine in most cases, this solution is not practical when a list contains millions of items and a full re-sync can take hours.
We have now changed this so that only the items and folders affected by the changes are re-synchronised.

IMPORTANT: This change requires the column FileRef to be exported. If you are upgrading, follow these steps:

  1. In SQList Manager, go to Global Settings and scroll down to the Developer options group;
  2. In the Always accepted fields for lists setting, add ",FileRef,_ModerationStatus";
  3. In the Always refused fields for lists setting, remove ",FileRef";
  4. Click the "Save all settings" button to save the changes.


Improved handling of interrupted initial synchronisation


The first time you configure a list to be exported SQList, need to perform the so-called initial synchronisation. Is this initial sync is interrupted half way through, SQList re-starts it from scratch. While it is fine in most cases, this solution is not practical when a list contains millions of items and the re-sync can take hours.
We have now changed this so that in case an initial synchronisation is interrupted, SQList no longer updates all items already exported but only performs a quick check on what has been already exported and then continue from where it was left.

Export calculated fields as varchar

 
A new setting has been added to the Backward compatibility settings section named Export calculated columns as text, which allows you to force SQList to export calculated columns as varchar(max) rather than use the type of result defined in the SharePoint column.
(in SharePoint you can define a calculated columns that returns some text but still assign a result type of "Number", and this causes SQList to throw an error because of the faile conversion).



Force removal of special characters in table names


A new setting has been added to the Backward compatibility settings section named Force clean table names, which allows you to force SQList to remove special characters from table names, even if the option to "Clean table's and column's names" is not selected.
This setting has been added to keep backward compatibility with SQList version 5, which always removes special characters from table names.



Minor changes


  • Added handling of column type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldText";
