Data Browser
A new Data Browser application has been added for displaying the results of a
query using the new search tool or for browsing the various feature instances
available in a session. Multiple feature instances can be browsed at once with
each feature class presented on its own tab. Columns can be filtered and sorted
interactively, hidden, and renamed much like any modern spreadsheet. The
results of a query or browsing session can be saved in a variety of formats
including CSV, HTML, and XML.

Search / Query
A new search tool has been added which provides the ability to create comprehensive custom searches on any feature class contained in the session. The results of a search tool query are displayed in the Data Browser.
Oracle Single-Sign-On (SSO) / Windows Integrated Authentication
Support for Oracle Single-Sign-On (SSO) which uses Windows integrated authentication has been added to the Bentley Geospatial Administrator and Interoperability applications. Use of this functionality lets you quickly establish connections to Oracle using your Windows credentials.
Enhanced Display Only option in the Scripting application
When previewing results in the Scripting application, use of the Display Only option now creates a semi-persistent display that is only cleared when another script or primitive command is started. This provides the ability to perform windowing operations such as Window Area or Zoom to further inspect results.
ProjectWise Connector for Oracle Client Enhancements
For those users with access to the ProjectWise Connector for Oracle services and client license, support for new Oracle Spatial functionalities have been added including live database documents, time enabled features, versioning, pessimistic locking mode, and conflict resolution.
Oracle Spatial X and Y Scale Support
It is now possible to specify X Scale and Y Scale columns in the Register Feature dialog in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator. These columns will maintain the values of the point-cell or point-text scales for each occurrence allowing different cell or text sizes for a given feature instance. These values are populated automatically on post and on extraction; the cells or text are recreated exactly with the same size. X Scale and Y Scale are unit-less values that simply increase (scale > 1.0) or reduce (0.0 < scale <1.0) or leave unchanged (scale = 1.0) the default dimensions of the element used to represent the point feature. So an X Scale of 2.0 would double the width of the feature; 0.5 would reduce the width in half. The actual size of the feature instance depends upon the dimensions of cell used, or in the case of text, the size of the font and the number of characters in the text string.
Oracle Spatial Decimal Degree Rotation Support
In the Register Feature dialog in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator, it is now possible to specify a rotation field in decimal degrees for text and point rotation, in addition to the previously supported radians value type.
Oracle Spatial Nested Sub-Feature Support
It is now possible to create any number of sub-features using Oracle foreign key constraints between tables.
Oracle Spatial Non-Graphical Sub-Feature Support
It is now possible to create sub-features of type non-graphical using Oracle foreign key constraints between a graphical main table and a non-graphical linked table.
