Downloading older Heidi version

Calm_Temperature1211's profile image Calm_Temperature1211 posted 4 years ago in General Permalink

Hi,

I've updated to the latest version and can't use the UI. I want to downgrade to 9.5.0.5295 (64 Bit), but can't find it.

I've managed to find a different build installer and a 9.5 portable version, but they don't have these features:

  • auto capitalization of SQL keywords
  • auto highlight of columns with the same values

So - is there a list somewhere with all previous releases?

Thank you.

No there is no such a complete list, intentionally. On the download page you will find the previous 4 releases.

You can download the 5 years old v9.5 here: https://www.heidisql.com/installers/HeidiSQL_9.5.0.5196_Setup.exe

These old versions have bugs which I already fixed in the latest releases. Old versions potentially damage your settings generated with a newer version. Be aware of that.

Thank you, I found that one, but it doesn't have the 2 features I want.

Is there a way of getting the latest 9.5 build? It looks like the UI started to change from 10.0.

Latest v9.5 build before I released v10.0 was 5460. But that is no longer available in my builds folder. Even I don't have it in my backups.

What "UI change" do you talk about?

The icons are scaled weirdly, they are blurry.

Likely due to a high DPI setting for your screen.

The icons in your screnshot are from the Silk set, which is only available in 16px/16px resolution. A high DPI setting leads to upscaling.

However, the Icons8 pack has a much higher resolution, so these does not have that issue:

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot my issue.

Managed to find a 9.5.0.5315 version. It includes the 2 features I wanted, but some icons are messed up on Windows 7.

Hey Ansgar!

I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your great work for creating Heidi.

can you please advice: I need to migrate from a 25 years old SQL Server 8 (2000) to a modern MySQL

I want to try to use Heidi because this is a great tool. but modern versions does not support old SQL server (for example I'm getting a "Error SQL (208): Invalid object name 'sys.extended_properties' Invalid object name 'sys.columns'. */" error message)

Is it possible to find old versions (the oldest one in GitHub I've found is v9 which is not old enough) Maybe you can advice me with this?

If these errors you mentioned are just in the log panel, I would prefer to ignore them. As far as I see both of them are just used for retrieving comments of columns.

Alternatively you may try the v13 preview, but likely you will get the same results and errors. I am keeping the current classic Windows releases in sync with that new codebase.

If you really want to try older releases, be aware you might damage your current settings with them:

Thank you very much! I'll try them.

Regarding youranswer: "If these errors you mentioned are just in the log panel, I would prefer to ignore them. "

I would but the export is not working at all. (see the screenshot attached)

-- Host: stealth -- Server version: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) -- Server OS: Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: ) -- HeidiSQL Version: 12.0.0.6468

Regarding v 8.1 it is exporting the data. But stuck with another problem with the charset. It is not a UTF-8 format so it is exporting with broken text. But I'll check what options I have to fix that. Thank you for your help!
