Support for Permissions: Now, Script Generator tool has an option to include object permissions into DDL of the object being scripted. This option can be turned on and off by a user in the Script Generator tool dialog.

For DB2 added an option to enable/disable using specific procedure names as file names when saving procedure scripts into individual files. As DB2 can have multiple procedures with the same name, specific file names should be used together with real procedure names when naming individual script files. However, if a user is sure that there are no procedures with the same name being scripted, then he/she can use real procedure names and disable the option.
