Re: [dtp-dev] Can we remove the Database node in DSE for DBMS that suppo

[Lawrence E Dunnell <ledunnel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked with my team and we are okay
with removing the database node.   We also think that decorating the
default catalog is a good idea.

Some ideas we came up with, though you
can take them or leave them, are that either an icon decoration or text
decoration such as the word "Default" in parenthesis could be
used to indicate the default catalog.   We have no preference either
way.  One team member came up with idea of using a small checkbox
overlay icon to indicate the default.

I also think it's nice to know what the default catalog is. The problem
is: we can't make the default catalog showing as the parent of all other
catalogs. We can use icon decorators to identify the default catalog.

In the context of databases which do support multiple catalogs, I think
it's nice to know what the default catalog is.  How is this misleading
and
is the identity of the default (or current) catalog exposed to the user
through any other parts of the tooling?

That said, I don't have a problem removing the node from the display.  I'd
be interested to hear others' opinions on the matter.

Best Regards,
Rob
