Browser Feature Suggestion

[Igor]

This is a feature suggestion – please consider for the future versions:

It would be nice to group tables in a folder just like you currently do it for Stored Procedures, Functions and Views.

If tables would follow the same paradigm (since they are just another object type as far as browser is concerned) it would look more consistent. You'd also save on quering db (timing!) if you don't really need to view tables at the moment and need to work only with stored procs.

Plus no endless scrolling if you have a lot of tables just to open stored procs folder.

I'd actually put Triggers and Indexes in their own respective folders as well, as an alternative and convenient way to look at them together irrespective of tables they belong to.

Thanks for your consideration!

I think we heard that some to,es before now! As we soon will start implementing support for EVENTS and PARTITIONS the 'fight for space' in the Object Browser won't become less. I think we should do something serious about that once we finished support for UTF and have started localisations – and at the same time as startingsupporting partions. By the end of this year or so ???

Personally I would like too an option NOT to have VIEWs in a folder as I have one important database where I practically only use the VIEWs and NOT the TABLES. However 95% of users probably still think that TABLES are the important thing. And this option should preferably be per-database-configurable or per-connection-configurable.

Thanks for your suggestion. I suggested this to Ritesh allready when SQLyog 5.0 was developed actually, but it was decided to use the existing code for TABLES at the time.

Added to our 'wishlist' on our Project Server.

FYI: wishlist contains issues and tasks that are not yet scheduled and not assigned to a specific person or team.

OK, cool, thanks!

Just to add here – this kind of browser experience became an industry standard of sorts – SQL Station, SQL Navigator, PL/SQL Developer, SQL Server UI tool – all use the same folder paradigm.

So this would be more familiar for people who (like me) migrate from Oracle or SQL Server to MySQL.

End of the year is great though!

Thanks again.

Igor.
