Thread Suggestion, ElevateDB Manager: Creating Columns/Indexes

It may just be my preference, but I find the method of adding columns and
defining indexes difficult. I think it would be much easier with just a grid
featuring all of the details, even if that meant making a horizontal scroll
necessary for some columns. Maybe with the field name column always fixed on
the left and the other details scrolled. This is fairly easy with DevEx
grids, but I don't know what you are using here. I haven't checked to see if
there is source supplied with the new manager. Smiley

Thanks,
Johnnie

There's really too much information and variable-length text involved to try
and do it in one grid.  Plus, every single parameter, column, etc.
definition is done the same way, so changing one would mean changing the
entire EDB manager.  Give it some time and I'll think you'll find it to be
pretty easy to use.  It took some time for me to get used to it also. Smiley
