What’s New in Studio 3T 2020.5 | Password Encryption via Cryptographic Key Store, Custom SQL Migration Imports & More
Find more granular control over imports in SQL Migration, support for password encryption via cryptographic key store, and fixes and improvements to main features.
New features
SQL to MongoDB Migration | Query your SQL database, define your import
In addition to setting up SQL migrations based directly on tables, you can now specify a custom SQL query so you can control which dataset to import.
From the Overview tab, choose With custom SQL query as an import unit.
By using custom SQL query as an import unit, you can filter the data to only include the subset you need (instead of having to import entire SQL tables), or extend your data (for example, through UNION or JOIN) before the migration.
You can further modify your SQL query in the Mappings tab, which you can also save as you go.

Connection Manager | Encrypt passwords via cryptographic key store
You now have the option to use your own cryptographic key store when storing connection passwords in the Connection Manager.
For those who downloaded or updated to this newest release, you were asked to select between Studio 3T’s default password encryption or cryptographic key store in the initial setup wizard.
Please note that when you choose to use your own cryptographic key store, Studio 3T will ask you to define and confirm your master password.
You can always update your password encryption preferences at any time under Studio 3T > Preferences > Passwords.
