enhancement requests

[Kent]

Here are a few wishlist items:

1) make large data editor available for condition field when adding checks to a table

2) graphic interface for administering privileges for packages, procedures, sequences

3) ability to alphabetically sort contents of a user defined folder

4) include comparison of privileges in compare user objects feature

5) a preference setting to use tab,period,comma, and left parenthesis to select code assistant entries instead of (or in addition to) the return key

Thanks!

Here is one more enhancement:
It would be great to use wildcards (like '*' and '?' or '%' and '_') in the search-field of the help window.
That would be great.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. One remark:

3) ability to alphabetically sort contents of a user defined folder

I assume you mean a manually popupated folder? For query based folders you can specify a where clause. For manual folders you would need to sort the objects on the "Objects" tab page of the folder definition.

another enhancement request:

When using the browser to view table columns, it would be nice to be able to sort the columns by name by clicking on the grid header "name".

 

[Robert_G]

You can sort them by clicking on the Name column....

Robert_G: I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe I need to be more specific.

1. Open the object browser.
2. Right click on a table and select view
3. In the view table window, select the columns tab
4. If you click on the "Name" which is the column header for the table column names, it does not sort.

I hope this helps. If there is another way, please be specific about how to do it.

I am using version 6.0.093 with Oracle 9i

Open the object browser, right click on a table and select describe. Click in the box of the desired column header.

 

[Buckeye]

Ah-ha...thank you whip. That is just what I needed.

 

[rbrooker]

you can also select from a table in the sql window, change to single record view, then sort by both column name and column value

Yes, I am referring to folders that I populate by right-clicking on a table, package, etc. and selecting "Add to Folder". I did find where to manually sort them, but this can get tedious, having to move each item manually as you add it. A menu item to sort them on command or a preference setting to automatically keep them sorted would be helpful.
