EDBMgr Suggestion |

Chris Clark | No Modality in Alter Trigger/Procedure etc.. Windows
Just a minor thing, but when developing functions/triggers/procedures the Modal Window is a little bit of a pain. If I have a procedure I want to modify I usually want to refer back to tables, field names and definitions when making a change. As its a modal window I can't do this. What I usually do is Alter the procedure and immediately enter some invalid SQL so the procedure gets sent to a non-modal window and I can then make changes while referring back to the database schema. Clearly its not the end of the world but just thought I'd mention it. |

>What I usually do is Alter the procedure and immediately enter some invalid SQL so the procedure gets sent to a non-modal window and I can then make changes while referring back to the database schema. OR You could just open a new sql window, grab the function or procedure and drag'n'drop into the blank window. Hmm just testing - it doesn't even need to be a blank window so you can drag lots of stuff in and then edit it I think Tim's looking at this sort of thing for the next major release of EDBManager Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] ps I only know because someone else posted here about it |

Uli Becker | Chris,
another "workaround" would be to open a second instance of EDBManager. Uli |

>another "workaround" would be to open a second instance of EDBManager. I forgot that one because its usually something I do by accident - I have the EDBManager icon in my quick launch bar and often double click. Roy |

That doesn't work at all well for me. Tables Open or queries prepared in one instance and modifying DB structure in the second instance. Although I may just have messy workflow It was just an observation of an annoyance is all. These workaround kind of achieve the same thing I guess. |

I must've been out sick the day that feature came out--that's very handy! I've often resorted to the exact same "invalid SQL" process that Chris posted to get it to open to a new window. That now seems like a pretty silly work-around. -- David Cornelius Cornelius Concepts |
