Folks, One of the existing features in SQuirreL is going to make some of my development harder, and before I put in that effort I would like to ask if anyone is using that feature. The alternatives I am considering could include eliminating the feature or making a significant modification to it. The feature is setting various fields to show a standard description of the data rather than the data itself. For example, instead of showing "011010010", it would say "Binary". The feature is enabled/disabled on a per-data-type basis under "Session Parameters"-> "SQL", and is labeled "Show String Data for Columns of these Data Types". My questions are: 1. Do you use this feature? 2. What benefit does it give you (e.g. performance, reduced clutter in display, etc.)? 3. What types of data do you use it for? 4. If the reason you use it is performance, can you give us an example or two of the difference between turning the feature on (i.e. showing only the description of the data) and turning it off (i.e. showing the actual data)? Thank you for sharing your insight. Glenn Griffin |
