This presentation describes the new features introduced in SQL Assistant 13.0 and points out the similarities and differences between this and previous versions.
SQL Assistant 13.0 is an entirely new application that has been re-designed from the ground up. It has been designed to look and act very much like previous versions of the product, by default, but it now uses the Microsoft .Net Framework rather than Visual Basic 6.
There are now many more options, and features, and a few things have changed a little.
This presentation will help those who have used the application in the past make a smooth transition to the new version.

Nice read about the changes. I like that you touch on the bad sides as well. Performance has hit our shop hard and really feels like at big step back. Hoping for a better release down the road. We are the geeks who would rather trade the fancy office look for speedy startup and grand history file =)
Where and when can I get it :) ?
Teradata SQL Assistant 13.00.00.05 is available for download from the "Teradata At Your Service" site.
Are there any plans for a platform independent solution based on Java and JDBC (similar to Oracle's SQL Developer) to be offered eventually?
Mike, I know that you mentioned in the PDF and presentation that the new SQL Assitant would use more memory and it would startup slower, but on my machine which unfortunately is probably more memory starved and process starved that it should be, it takes roughly 20 seconds for it to start up and there seems to be a slight lag time when closing answerset windows and even in opening the answerset when the data is being returned. Are there things in progress to somehow speed some of this up? It also seems to have some issues with re-drawing itself if behind other windows and then brought to the front. Now again this could be to my system running low on resources. Just curious mainly cause when I roll this out to my users, I am sure to get a lot of people complaining about the slowness.
