"edit -> Find" And "edit -> Replace" Always

[Jason McLeod]

The Find and Replace functions are always grayed out, no matter where my cursor is…

is there some trick to this?

I've tried the free edition as well as the trial.. if I can get these functions working I'm ready to purchase!

'find' and 'replace' are text editor functions. Cursor must be placed in the SQL-editor area / a Query tab (up-right).

Now if you click once in the editor and expand the 'edit' menu are they still disabled?

To search and replace in the DATA, you will need to exectue a

“SELECT .. FROM WHERE …” and then edit data in the RESULT tab

.. but we do plan some 'filtering' option similar to Office-type programs.

Thanks for the reply

While the function “works” it's not quite what I was hoping. I'm looking for a quick way to change text in various records.

I cannot help it …

the 'filtering' option is pretty high priority, however.

We will probably release next version on Saturday, and soon after that update this FAQ:

http://webyog.com/faq/33_20_en.html

.. with more accurate priorities.

The phrase here “There are plans for a GUI SQL-builder as you find it in Office Suite -type databases” also covers such filtering option.

The priorities as of now are like:

1) User management complete as of MySQL 5.1 and the remaining 'small isuues' that we allready announced in the 5.1 tree + a few pending bug-fixes and optimizations. Should be around 1 week now.

2) Full Unicode compliance. Add 2-3 weeks. But this has some 'uncertanity' built in.

3) GUI-related: Filtering, GUI SQL-builder, better Spreadsheet interoperability. This will be done in parallel with extracting strings from the code itself to enable localisations. Plus better support for BINARY data (BIT, BINARY, VARBINARY and (non-image)BLOB types.

4) Events and Partitions support (actually Events may come before, as it is quite simple to implement)

But at this very moment I cannot be exact on the 'timing' of issues in category 3)

We will do detailed 'man-power' planning next week and publish details.
