What is happening: clicking on result grid

[ScottMattes]

I don't do it often, but when I click a cell in the Result Grid it takes forever (21st Century talk for at least 5-10 seconds) for the cursor to display in the cell and I can then select the value and copy it to the clipboard.

What is PLSD doing during all that time?

It is fetching various properties of the column. You can disable this through the "Show dictionary info in result grid" preference (Tools > Preferences > SQL Window).

Marko, can you do this fetching asynchronously?

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Marco,
how about combining this with my previous idea of storing the Describe window data locally and only checking if it needs updating when the user logs on? Should be much faster response time reading from disk than doing a query.

 

[Marco Kalter]

That is an option too.
