Minor bug/feature: delete without where clause is only prompted for one time only

[Claus Pedersen]

I execute the following DDL from a SQL window:

delete from emp;

I get a Confirm dialog: "Are you sure you want to delete all records?" with the option "Don't show this message again". I answer Yes and my records are deleted. So far so good ...

But from now on, when I write the same or similar DDL that should cause the same dialog as before, the records are deleted with no warning. Even if I change user and/or table name, no warning is given. Next time I open PLD, the dialog comes back again, but only the first time.

 

[Marco Kalter]

This is by design. If you select "Yes", this dialog is not displayed again for the duration of the session, to prevent a multitude of confirmations.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

OK, it is not obvious to the untrained eye, but that explains the behaviour.

Marco, I don't think Claus ticked the "Do not show this message again" checkbox. I just tried this and I *definitely* didn't check the box and I do NOT see the message a second time, even after logging off and logging in to a new session.
