Luna Modeler - improved UI for schema synchronization

Improved UI Performance

We optimized the UI to handle the synchronization of larger models more efficiently. Even small changes in the data model can impact many related objects due to dependencies, relationships etc.

The new version ensures faster response times when working with complex schemas - in addition to generating SQL scripts in the correct order and handling dependent objects.

Features introduced in version 10
