A couple of minor EDBMgr suggestions |
Thu, Jan 31 2013 3:07 PM | Permanent Link |
Barry | 1) In the Object Tree of EDBMgr, if I double click a tree node (like a table name) to select the table and then open the table from the pane, the node font changes to bold but the color changes to white text on a grey background and is difficult to read. Why can't the selected node text stay black on a grey background when focus leaves the tree?
2) When executing a query in the New.Sql pane, it would be nice if the status bar of the Result Set page (right of navigator) had an icon that displays the sensitivity of the query. When the query is sensitive, the icon would show "Browsing Sensitive" with a green background. Or a red Browsing "Insensitive" icon when the query is insensitive. Then we would know right away the sensitivity of the query. (The color would make it stand out better.) The execution plan sometimes says "The result set was sensitive" when in fact it isn't. So EDBMgr will have to check the sensitivity after the query has executed and display the correct icon next to the navigator at the bottom of the Result Set page. Barry |

Easy and visible, big and colourful enough, more than any tag. <<The execution plan sometimes says "The result set was sensitive" when in fact it isn't.

You are right, it may be confusing and unclear if the final result is sensitive or not. I have no idea how difficult it is to correctly evaluate if the final result is sensitive in advance on those complex cases... I always vote for less code in the engine if the result is not worth the additional code, but that's something i cant even vote for as I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement. -- Fernando Dias [Team Elevate] |

I was wondering if you could override it (change the style?) so the node text is still readable when the tree loses focus. Either darken the node background to make the white text more readable, or darken the text. As it stands now it the white text on a light grey background is pretty much unreadable unless I have my nose pressed to the screen. Barry |

I'm not sure if I would be shooting someone else in the foot by fixing the colors to a specific set of colors. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
