I already prepared fix, but still don't know the right category. I asked for help Filip Rachunek (UI). which options? You have to install Database Explorer. (It is not part of build.) Then you can see Database Explorer under Uncategorized. and what options are provided by the database explorer? For the time being, there are four options: *Debug mode* - Debug mode for database connections. True means that (non-user-initiated) commands sent to the database will be listed in the Output window. False means that this feature is disabled. *Fetch limit* - Initial number of fetched rows for a query. If this limit is exceeded, you are asked whether to continue fetching rows or not. *Fetch step* - The number of additional rows that are fetched (after the Fetch limit is exceeded) before the IDE prompts you to continue fetching.. *Connect Sample Database* - If you choose True, Database Explorer attempts to automatically connect to the sample Pointbase database with the default username/password of public/public. If you choose this option, you do not see the connection dialog when. If you choose False, the connection dialog appears and you must enter the username/password. For the future releases, we want to add more options. It is planned for 4.0, I think it is unimportant now. okay, thanks. i'm actually not going to tell you where to categorize these options bcs i'm working on a complete overhaul of the options dialog and the system we know now will be no more when i'm done. what will happen is that some of these will end up in the options dialog i design and some will be left for and 'advanced' dialog that will be the registry style tree that we have now (sans categories). so the short answer is leave these uncategorized for the moment as i work on the next great thing. cL But, Chris, isn't the new proposal for 3.4? These options show up in 3.3.1 and the db modules *is* installed as part of the ffj builds by default. Do we really want to ship a product with Uncategorized options? aha. that wasn't clear to me. sorry. i'll try to get something on this tomorrow. Rochelle, you are the db queen so a suggestion from you would make me happy. ;-) cL I'm not sure about that, Chris =). Here's what I would suggest: Add a "Database" folder under IDE Configuration->Server and External Tool Settings. In that folder, put 2 nodes: 1) "Connection" with properties a) Show Debug Commands (true/false) b) Automatically Connect Sample (true/false) 2) "Fetch (Settings?)" with properties: a) Row Limit b) Incremental Step I hope that helps. thanks Rochelle... sorry for taking so long to reply. i'll defer to your recomendation. cL Fixed in trunk and orion_fcs. I only moved Database Explorer from Uncategorized to the folder Rochelle suggested. Chris, do you find it acceptable that the whole Database Explorer node is moved to the folder I suggested? The properties are not split as in my suggestion, so I just wanted to double check. Rochelle, I didn't split it because it is not so simple. If you want to split properties, then you have to split also DatabaseOption class which contains properties. I think it is risky to do it now in orion_fcs branch. It's fine with me for a shorter term solution for FCS as long as Chris agrees. He had agreed to the more complicated split before. short term and long term seem okay to me bcs the oft changed/needed options will be moved into a nicer ui soon enough. (is that an enigmatic enough answer for everyone). cL Verified in main trunk Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing. |
