EDBMgr Feature Request |
Mon, Apr 2 2012 12:35 PM | Permanent Link |
Alan Questell Richmond Community College | Recently, I've been having to use EDBMgr *much* more than I've ever had to before...and here's two things that would really be nice, if you would kindly consider:
1. Quick menu on Table has "Empty Table" as an option. 2. When importing, the ability to save the state of the Customizations page, specifically the "Use Column Headers" check box. Although it's just a couple of clicks, I often forget, creating a mess...which takes me back to #1. |

<< 1. Quick menu on Table has "Empty Table" as an option. >> This has been requested a few times, but I'm still holding off on it. The issue is that it is completely unrecoverable, so an end user could really screw themselves by accidentally using this option, and we have a lot of end users that use the EDB Manager. << 2. When importing, the ability to save the state of the Customizations page, specifically the "Use Column Headers" check box.

Just in case Tim needs any support I'm with him on this. For a one-off table its not to difficult to click New and type EMPTY TABLE FRED and hit F9. Also if you have a lot of them to empty: 1. Make sure no one is using them 2, Use Windows Explorer to delete the table files It works because all the metatdata is now in the catalog. I used it via Delphi and ShellExecute before Tim gave us EMPTY TABLE because DELETE FROM was to slooooow Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

In fact, it's the fastest type of write operation that you can do. You might have been getting tripped up by extensive text indexes, or just a lot of indexes in general. That might have slowed things down a bit. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
