Editor Column Numbers?

[Leigh Kendall]

I know there's a way to turn on line numbers in the editor, but is there a way to display column numbers so that the line number/column number would display in the status bar somewhere?

Am I missing something? I've searched the preferences, but can't find anything.

Thanks...

Just to clarify; I noticed that line:column numbers do show in Program windows. However, they don't show in Command windows. Anyway to enable this?

This cannot be enabled. If all is well then line numbers are not really relevant in Command Files. You will never receive a message about a specific line or column in the editor.

Maybe this can be re-considered.

Whenever I print a SQL statement or a SQL script for meetings, I copy it to another editor that contains line numbers. When I give a presentation using a projector, I toggle the window to be a program window since it has line numbers.

It's just nice to be able to refer to line numbers when presenting so people can follow along.

Another benefit is that icons in the gutter would show the bookmarks.

Another benefit is when the script errors, it refers to a line number. It's not the same line number as the command window because of comments and all that, but it gets me in the ballpark.

No, it's not a big deal and there are other ways around these things. I just think it's nicer to have line numbers.

Thanks,

Mike

Marco,
Couldn't line numbers be put onto the Editor tab of the Command Window? I have had occasion where that would have been nice to have.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Marco,
Is there a way to enable line numbers in the SQL Window as well (the above comments only mention Command Window)?

No, this is currently not possible. Maybe we can add this for 7.1.
