View Editor

[Cal Gordy]

When are you going to deliver a view editor????

Your current implementation just has the sql in a sql frame.

This loses comments as well as any instead-of-triggers

You told me that this was going to be handled in v6, but I don't see it.

Yes. The upcoming 6.0 release will save and restore the instead of triggers when you compile a view.

I know I keep harping on this subject - but you have sequence editor !!!!

I would suggest that views are way more complex and useful to represent in a true editor than sequences.

This is on the list of enhancement requests. Maybe we can add it for 6.1. The difference between a view and (for example) a sequence is that a sequence merely consists of a number of formal properties, whereas a view consists of a free format SQL text, and several formal properties (such as the column comments). This can be combined of course.
