Version 9.0

Posted by David Fishburn
New Features
------------
- Added the ability to set and store SQL variables for each buffer.  This will reduce prompting for statements which are often re-used.  Added support for listing and deleting SQL variables.   Initial prototype by Garrison Yu.
- Added option, g:dbext_default_variable_remember, to control whether SQL variables should be stored when prompted.
- Improved the parsing of SQL statements to account for procedural language.  If a IN, OUT, INOUT or DECLARE statement is found prior to the use of the variable, it is stored for later use.  When the variable is encountered, if the declaration was found we skip prompting for it's value.  This should reduce the number of prompts you receive when executing SQL (i.e. Functions, Procedures, Events, Packages and so on depending on the naming convention you use for your variables.
- Updated the tutorial and added more links to different sections see |dbext-tutorial-variable|
- Added VB filetype support (Garrison Yu).
- Added escaping to allow specifying an new Oracle URL syntax for server connection parameters (Anton Sharonov).
- Renamed DBCloseResults, DBOpenResults, DBRefreshResult, DBToggleResultsResize to DBResultsClose, DBResultsOpen, DBResultsRefresh, DBResultsToggleResize to be more consistent.

Bug Fixes
---------
- You are often repeatedly prompted for connection information.  This change reduces the number and allows you to cancel out of the prompt dialogs.
- Added an unconditional quit command to exit out of Oracle's SQLPlus (Anton Sharonov).
