I'm modifying a script in EDBManager so I can test it out as I go and each time I make an alteration and click Execute the parameters have been reset to NULLs. Is that WAD?

Yes, EDB has to re-parse the script and re-set up the parameters when you
change it.  However, I can see about making this more user-friendly and
trying to save the parameters in-between.

How about a load parameters from file option. I don't know about others but I'd be happy to set up a small text file with each parameter on its own line. In many ways that would be better because I could then use the same ones between EDBManager uses.

Its only when, as in this case, I have 7 parameters and kept on screwing up the script

Nah, it's real simple to copy parameters around in memory, and to save them,
so no problems.
