September 15, 2026 — Withdata Software announces DBBlobEditor 8.5, a cross-platform desktop tool for viewing, importing and exporting BLOB / CLOB data. This release adds a table filter and new object tree actions, Pause / Resume for Lob import, a more reliable Lob import and export, and a new “Log and Notify” section.
What’s New in DBBlobEditor 8.5
1. Table Filter & Object Tree Actions
A filter box now sits above the database object tree, so a table is easy to find in a large database. The object tree menu has also gained Copy Table Names, Export DDL and Drop Selected Tables, so common tasks no longer need a trip to another tool.
2. Pause / Resume and a Safer Lob Import
The Lob import can now be paused and resumed. Under the hood it is also much more forgiving: a busy database or a lost connection is waited out on a fresh connection, and an insert is not done twice. The Lob export stops cleanly on a lost connection and tells you to run it again, instead of leaving the output in an unknown state.
3. Logging, Notifications and Smaller Fixes
- A new “Log and Notify” settings section; the log filter and the finish notification are remembered for the next run.
- Log level, a log filter, Copy Log and Save Log are now available in the import / export windows.
- “Notify me when it is done” in the import / export windows.
- “Options” was renamed to “Export Options” in the Tools menu.
- Fixed the last line of the log being shown twice.
