Updates

ElyraSQL Client checks for new versions automatically and can download them for you — no package manager or manual hunting required.

How it works

  • On launch, the app quietly asks elyracode.com whether a newer build exists for your platform. Nothing is shown unless there's an update.
  • When an update is available, a green banner appears at the top: “ElyraSQL Client vX.Y.Z is available.”
  • Click Update & restart. The app downloads the correct build for your OS/architecture, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, installs it in place, and relaunches on the new version — no manual steps:
    • macOS — the app bundle in Applications is replaced automatically.
    • Linux — the running binary is replaced in place.
  • Choose Later to dismiss the banner for this session.

!!! note "Fallback" If the app can't write to its install location (e.g. it's running from a read-only mount), it falls back to downloading the file to your Downloads folder and opening it so you can install it manually.

You can trigger a check anytime from the command palette (⌘/Ctrl + K → “Check for updates…”).

What's sent

The update check requests a small public manifest and sends nothing about you or your databases. Downloads come over HTTPS from a first-party server and are checksum-verified before they're saved.

!!! note "Private distribution" Builds are published on elyracode.com rather than public GitHub releases, so updates always come from the official, first-party source.

Manifest (for maintainers)

The client reads https://elyracode.com/downloads/sql-client/manifest.json:

{
  "version": "0.3.0",
  "generated_at": "2026-07-10T20:26:24Z",
  "files": [
    { "name": "ElyraSQL-Client-0.3.0-macos-arm64.dmg", "size": 4784126, "sha256": "…" },
    { "name": "elyrasql-client-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz", "size": 4565474, "sha256": "…" },
    { "name": "elyrasql-client-0.3.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz", "size": 4375584, "sha256": "…" }
  ]
}

The client compares version (semver) with its own, then picks the file whose name matches the running platform. Artifacts are served from …/downloads/sql-client/{name}. This manifest is produced and replicated by the deploy_sqlclient workflow.
