Berny's Wishlist

[Bernhard S]

Hello,

the following is missing or annoying and would be great, if it could be implemented:

- the result table of a SQL Window should be
easily copied as well in space-separated format.
I often have to send out results via email or
just like to store results as comments right
after the sql in the sql section of the sql
window. A tab-separated list is not useful at
all for that. Using the "copy to excel" option
and copy-pasting from there again works, but is
a lot of hassle and somewhat of an overkill too
in most cases. I know as a workaround I could
execute the sql in a command window and get the
result I like from there. Just think it should
be easier to do also in sql window and not a lot
of effort to program either.

- find it annoying that you cannot seem to use
the standard copy-paste keys ctrl+ins &
shift+ins while a sql is just getting executed
in the same window. the alternative ctrl+c &
ctrl+i however work then as well. I'm just more
used to the first alternative and it's
irritating, having to use an alternative means
for editing during sql execution. this applies
to sql-window, but also for packages.

Should both be easy to fix and would love to see that implemented soon Otherwise keep up the good work!

Regards,
Berny

Hello,

while I'm at it, just another annoyance this time referring to the message form, I'm typing this very message in. It should be a lot bigger. You feel like squeezed here. Just make it big enough to see the message when typing already the way it later on looks in the formum.

Regards,
Berny

Bernhard,

Re: your request for a space-separated SQL Results.

When I use standard copy & paste, it pastes the results in space-separated form. If you are talking about "exporting" the results, then there's a great plug-in called "User-Defined Export" which you can use to define a space-separated export.

Cheers,
D.

Hi D.,
thanx for the tip
Not quite what I'd like, but sure useful in some cases. I was more thinking of an alternative for the right-mouse option "Copy", which copies to clipboard using tab-separation. Would be great to have an alternative "Copy space separated" copying in command window output style (space filled) format.
