dbForge Data Compare for MySQL v2025.3 improves connectivity, editor usability, and compatibility. You can now connect through AWS RDS Proxy with caching_sha2_password, navigate large scripts faster with scroll bar annotations, apply camelCase formatting for identifiers, and work with newer server versions thanks to added support for MySQL 9.5 and MariaDB 12.2.
dbForge Data Compare for MySQL now supports connecting through AWS RDS Proxy when the user account is configured with the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. This helps you keep using modern MySQL authentication defaults while benefiting from RDS Proxy for connection pooling and improved application resiliency.
Scroll bar annotations are now available to help you navigate large scripts and quickly locate important areas in the editor. Colored markers on the vertical scroll bar show modified lines (saved and unsaved), bookmarks and breakpoints, identifier occurrences, server and parsing syntax errors, warnings, and the current caret position.
You can enable and configure annotations in Tools > Options > Text Editor > Scroll Bar by selecting Show annotations over vertical scroll bar and choosing which annotation types to display. You can also customize most annotation colors in Tools > Options > Environment > Font and Colors.
Formatting profiles now support camelCase for identifiers to help you align scripts with common team naming conventions. A new camelCase option has been added to the Text Case settings across Alias Case, Built-in Datatype Case, Built-in Function Case, Identifier Case, and Variable Case.
To make case options clearer and more consistent, Initial caps has been renamed to Capitalized, and Initial caps each word has been renamed to PascalCase. PascalCase is also now available in Alias Case.
Previously saved formatting profiles remain compatible and continue to work without changes.
dbForge Data Compare for MySQL v2025.3 expands server compatibility to help you stay current with the latest database versions. This release adds support for MySQL 9.5 and MariaDB 12.2, so you can connect to these servers and continue working with your schemas and data in Data Compare as you upgrade your environments.
