We are pleased to announce that Professional Services has just released CodeGen 5.1.7. The main feature of the release is the addition of experimental support for generating code for the MySQL and PostgreSQL relational databases. Developers can use a new command line option -database to specify their database of choice. This causes the SQL-compatible data types that are injected by the field loop expansion token <FIELD_SQLTYPE> to be customized based on the chosen database. The default database continues to be Microsoft SQL Server.

Before we consider support for these new databases to be final we would appreciate any feedback from developers working with MySQL or PostgreSQL to confirm whether we have chosen appropriate data type mappings. Additional information can be found in the CodeGen documentation.
