- Change table engine via popupmenu in ListTables
- Edit comment via same popupmenu + an own dialog
Not keeping the same feature in different corners of the application looks more straight forward. Users will have exactly one point where they can modify all table related properties. Should simplify it in the end, although some users will have to get used to it.
- Drop pagecontrol to access more than one selected table. Didn't seem helpful for any case, looked ugly and was a click hell to use.
- Implement changeable editors for table name, comment, engine, charset, collation and auto_increment value.
- Backward compatibility kept: A 3.23.58 server leads to disabling editors for engine, charset and collation while keeping the others working.
A table's charset and collation can now be provided at creation time and at altering time. Just as it's implemented for databases. Fullfills now most of the wishes in RFE #1693393.
So, after changing the engine of a table the table status dataset was refreshed but never displayed, until having switched to a different db. So, MenuRefreshClick was loading but not displaying the table status.
a) option "Remember last used database" is active
b) the last used db was dropped externally or
the session was just opened with "OnlyDBs" in place and the last db is not contained in this list.
* Make export table locks local to current connection work.
* Bugfix: In non-file mode, export commands go directly to server without being parsed; thus they must not have semicolons at end of sentence. A regression here causes issue #1747558 and issue #1795486, which this commit fixes again.
(Briefly considered adding a cleanSql() which just runs result := parseSql(sql)[0], which would do the same in fewer lines of code, albeit with the small overhead of having the semicolon both added and afterwards removed again..)
- Let ExecUpdateQuery raise the errordialog if creating a database failed. Tells the user the exact reason for why it has failed, not just a vague guess "Maybe that was not a valid name"
- Avoid a superflous exception when creating a database with upper case characters in it and the server lowercases all dbnames silently. Gracefully compare case-insensitive when searching the new created db in dbtree.
The ListView in tbl_properties won't support sorting by columnclicking any longer, but that was useless with such a small amount of items anyway.
Further finetuning of list:
- Disable column-click
- Avoid animation on columns + items creation
- Autosize columns correctly
- Refactor WITH .. DO statements
- Consistency:
- Move all global preferences vars from mainform to childwin.
- Get rid of unused legacy vars NativeFieldTypes + LanguageOffset
- Readability:
- Add documentation
- Prefix preferences vars with "pref"
- Get rid of WITH .. DO statements
- Synchronize height of all listviews after moving the splitter on one page.
- Drop maximum dimensions of form.
- Store/restore form and list dimensions via registry
- Documentation
- Simplify code
- Add useful popupmenu with items "Copy" + "Select all" to SynMemos which display the CREATE statements
- Rely on modalresult of form, drop OnClick handler of Close-button
- Format sum of table sizes using FormatByteNumber instead of always using KB as the unit of choice.
- Add a statusbar to the form to signalize that the form can be resized.
