Part-DB 1.13.0 - PostgreSQL support, natural sorting and more

If you like Part-DB, please consider donating to help further development. See the sponsor button on the homepage.

PostgreSQL

Part-DB now supports PostgreSQL as database. See documentation on how it compares with other database types.

Natural Sorting

Part-DB now supports natural sorting in part tables and tress.

So instead of sorting elements like DIP-14, DIP-28, DIP-4 , DIP-8, the elements now get sorted like expected as DIP-4, DIP-8, DIP-14 and DIP-28.

If you are using PostgreSQL or MariaDB 10.7+ then this kind of sorting is supported natively and natural sorting gets automatically enabled.

If you are running SQLite or MySQL then it is possible to emulate natural sorting by setting the DATABASE_EMULATE_NATURAL_SORT to 1.

Please note that this emulation can be very slow and might have some issues and quirks.

Thank you very much for the new version.
I installed part-db by downloading the archives and unpacking them. However now I see that for the update I should do git pull. Is there any other mechanism for updating part-db ?
