ElevateDB Manager column detail list |

Michael Fullerton | It would be nice to have a detail list of all column properties at a
glance as in DBSys. Maybe a detail view like in Explorer? |

Agreed, but remember two things a) EDBManager is still a baby - it hasn't grown up yet ad b) what do you expect from someone who has his head stuck up the internals of a database engine Roy Lambert |

Yes but then I'd have to create a view for every table I ever use. Still very inconvenient. And anyway Roy's query does not show secondary indexes. So I'd have to create another view for every table to show the index properties as well. If you have an icon view you should also have a detail view that's standard Windows UI. |

The issue is that you can't fit all of the information that you want in a single list without resorting to forcing the user to scroll to the right every time to see anything of value. That is why we have the basic information in the detail view along with the very detailed information in the task pane information box on the left. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

When I say detail view I am thinking of Windows Explorer. You detail view is more like a properties window. In Windows Explorer the left pane is an object tree view. The right pane has icon view (like in EDB Manager), list and detail. The detail view has each object on a single row with all its details just as in DBSys. In Explorer you have a choice of which view you want to use. In EDB Manager you are forced to always use icon view. I have never had problems with scrolling to the right in DBSys. |

And/or adding a Views button like in Explorer? |
