Hey Jörg!
 
These are all great requests. Please do create Bugzilla entries for them and we can look at them for improvement in Galileo!
 
Thanks!

Here's another few:
  1. There should be a button for "Execute SQL" or similar within the SQL editor tabs
  2. Support for explicit configuration of auto-commit is missing; it's not clear what the default is here, are connections auto-committing or not?
  3. "Commit" and "Rollback" buttons inside the SQL editor tabs would be good
  4. A keyboard shortcut of "Ctrl+Return" for executing SQL would be what probably a good number of people are trying out to execute their SQL...
  5. In the SQL results view, being able to right-click and "Copy to clipboard" on individual cells would be very nice
Shall I open some enhancement requests in Bugzilla?

Regards,
Jörg

Hi,

it took me quite a while to find out that DTP is actually useable for me, but only after reading this newsgroup and fiddling considerably.

I'd have two remarks for the moment:
  1. Creating an "SQL scrapbook" should be accessible from the "File" / "New..." menu, just as is "SQL file" at the moment
  2. Creating an "SQL scrapbook" should be accessible from the context menu of a database, auto-connecting it if chosen
  3. Why is there a differentiation between "Max row count" and "Max display row count", i.e. why should "Max row count" be retrieved if only "Max display row count" rows are shown? When I started off with the defaults, I issued a query against a large table which never seemed to return, since all rows were fetched. That made me think yesterday that DTP is totally unusable. At least the defaults should be reasonable here, e.g. 50 and 50.
These issues currently make it hard for anybody unfamiliar with DTP to get going quickly and having a good impression while doing so...

Thanks in advance in case these issues would be looked at :-)

Regards,
Jörg
