Show Table Data In Text

[ronjeremy_69]

I probably check this site five times a week, eagerly waiting to see if the simple feature that was promised nearly two years ago, “Show Table Data In Text”, has finally been included.

I remain hopeful, so every six months or so I like post a reminder 🙂

This feature would be so very useful to myself, and im betting a huge number of other users out there just like me, who would like to be able to browse the contents of a table in text with a single click. Not only is browsing large numbers of records in text orders of magnitude faster than in the grid, but you can also selectively highlight and copy things, including column names, much more easily than in the grid.

Also a bug that has been around for just as long: The fact that SQLyog remembers pretty much all of your preferences except “Show Results In Text”.

Please do not let this important feature request fall by the wayside.

It's about that time again — yes, yet another 6 months has gone by. Still remaining hopeful that this quite simple feature, which was promised years ago, will happen soon.

We have now started the release process for 7.1 beta1.

Release notes tell (among others):

Quote:

* 'show in text' (Ctrl+L) is now functional for both DATA tab and RESULT tab.

In 10-15 minutes you should be able to download it!

oh…my… THIS IS SO AWESOME! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I just can't believe it — for 3 1/2 years I have consistantly lurked this forum waiting for this news. I just tried it, and it works perfectly. It's going to save so much time!

The below would be nice, but at the moment I am so overjoyed the text feature is actually here that I almost don't notice them:

Can it be made so the text preference is saved after SQLYog closes?

I notice after upgrading from my old version that when a plus is clicked to expand a database that it now takes an extra click on “tables” folder to see the tables. 99.99% of the time i (and probably most others) am working with the tables, so can it be made so the tables folder automatically expands?

Again, thanks so much!

There is a setting in 'preferences' like 'open tables as default'.

We are cautious to save the grid/text setting/preference. It could confuse users who enable 'text' by mistake. Anyway we will discuss this.
