Description draikes 2010-09-10 16:34:35 UTC 
When in the sql editor, if I create a query such as 

select * from regions;

and using the context menu, run the query, I am unable to locate the output of the command using the JAWS screen reader.  This is a violation of section 508.

My suggestion for resolution would be to put the query results into the output window, and if possible to make it a table with its headers properly attached to the data cells so  a screenreader user could use standard table navigation keys to explore the data and know which column he/she is in.
