I am sooo impressed with this new release! And that scratch pad is a really
helpfull addition, I fell in love with it.
BUT... that is a dangerous love, I learned.
What happened?
I constructed a fine query:
select md5(array_to_string(array( select md5(id_pkl||id_label || id_lg ||
name_l||letztespeicherung) from otlabel where quarant=0 ),''))
ran it, got a checksum for a WHOLE table (I was sooo proud of myself :) ...
and copied it to the scratch pad.
Then, I wanted to test if this checksum really changes when changes are made
to the table ... , so I changed the query:
select md5(array_to_string(array( select md5(id_pkl||id_label || id_lg ||
name_l||letztespeicherung||'pgadmin is great') from otlabel where quarant=0
),''))
and pressed F5. Quickly, the interface blinked, and --- the result stayed
the same! Wuha?
I changed the query more and more, nearly panicked ...
and then learned: hey, I was pressing F5 with focus on the scratch pad.
NOTHING was done to my query result :( Of course not --- it's just a scratch
pad.
So I propose a small change: as you allready capture F5 and F7 within the
scratch pad, at least give a dialog saying something along "ha-ha! nothing
happens in the scratch pad"
I burned my fingers and learned. Please save others from burning :)
