Eve needs a way to explore databases

[warang580]

I'm looking at EVE and I think the ideas behind it are great but something is stopping me from using it : I don't see any way to see the content of all the tables I'm interacting with. I think one of the important features of relational databases and Excel (which are your main inspirations for user-friendly systems that are popular) is that ability to directly view the data and interact with it. But for now, in Eve, you're forced to imagine how everything is working and it's kinda hard to "see" what's going wrong when the code does nothing. A simple table (which might be recursively checking all children items) view would help a lot I think.

Sacha,

Thanks for the issue, and welcome to the community!

You're right, this is a much needed feature in Eve. We started a thread for feedback, and this was clearly the most requested feature, so it's very high on our list of priorities. I'll believe this is the first issue on the topic, so I'll leave it open to track the status of a database viewer.

@warang580 As a partial solution, you can inspect the browser database by selecting the wand tool and clicking on the application's DOM elements.
