New Layout for Get Data Posted in 20th, 08/2002 12:00 by eg1403
This may not be so much of a feature request as it is more of asking for a change in current functionallity.

I believe the following is a better way for your program to work:

When you right click on a table, and select "Query Data", the main window be split into two sections:


Top Section:

This section shows the current SQL statment which would currently be:
SELECT
*
FROM
table


Bottom section:

This section shows the rows returned from current SQL statement.


At this point the user can edit the current SQL statment and run the new query.
Note: I think the "Run Query" button should always be available to run the query again, even if the SQL has not been edited. (Last version was like this)


I think the "Close Grid View" and "New Query" should be removed and replaced with "Toggle SQL Query" and "Toggle Results".

"Toggle SQL Query" would hide / un-hide the current SQL Statment

"Toggle Results" would hide / un-hide the current grid results


The "Close Query" button should also return to the last view before clicking on "Query Data", so it would either return to viewing the "Describing Table", "Listing Tables in Database", or any of the other "yellow" pages.


On a different topic...

In the query editor window, you are not allowed to use the TAB button... if you press TAB you loose focus from the SQL editor window, rather than the desired result of indenting my statement.


Hope this has all made sense and thanks for your product, it's wonderful.
