Re: pgAdmin III enhancement

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your answer.

I would just clarify something. You wrote: "It's completely inacceptable to
issue a complete refresh of the main window after each execute, which is
what you're requesting in consequence."
This was not my request. I have just proposed to refresh the CURRENT object
BEFORE opening the query tool.

Regards,
Stephane

re-open the query tool, it will take the content of the bottom right window,
so the old script. If you don't pay attention to that (imagine a big
function, this was my case), you modify the script but from the previous
version.

If the query tool's feature to get the currently selected object's
script, you can disable this in options. The query tool can't know what
you're doing, because it's meant for arbitrary queries. It's completely
inacceptable to issue a complete refresh of the main window after each
execute, which is what you're requesting in consequence. But you can do
this yourself (F5 key on the object: table, schema, or even database).

When using the property dialogs, which I'd recommend for minor changes,
pgadmin knows what you're doing, and will refresh the tree after the
change is successfully stored.

Andreas
