I run the query, and I get this:

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.

When I try to run it again, I get

no connection to the server

What details were missing from my description? I gave a step-by-step description of what I did.

They are not saved and so I need to start adjusting the columns over again every time the above scenario happens. I suppose if re-connecting from the edit tool was possible, this would be a moot point.

Is there a reason why to support it only in the query tool? I think all tools should have the ability to recover from server disconnections, especially since they require fine tuning again and again.
