Tiny but mighty new SQLcl feature
Last week, a new version of SQLcl was released, SQLcl 25.4. The release contains a lot of cool new features, but there is one tiny one in it that came thanks to yours truly. Of course, I can only take credit for filing an enhancement request, tracking down the Dev manager, and pestering him until he kindly agreed. And truthfully, it didn't really involve pestering.

You're trying to tell me, when I retire I'm still expected to waste my time on other people?
In that case I'd better continue to keep working. At least I'll get paid for that nonsense.

Two weeks from today I'll be talkinig about SQL Macros at #HrOUG2025 in Rovinj, Croatia.
That alone should be enough to attend 😁
But apart from that there are loads of other speakers and since it's the 30th (!!!) time, I expect a lot of celebration as well.
There may still be time to get a ticket!
