Search Column Names

Open jakob opened this issue 8 years ago • 8 comments

It would be very convenient if there was a way to search / filter column names, both in the table view and in the structure view. This would help when working with tables that have very many columns.

Yes, it would!

Some other cool features that could help in case of many columns:

  • autocompletion for table names and column names (with a drop down list indicating tables/view/columns/... in a distict color)
  • drop down arrow in list on tables to show column names

Structure view is often slow/hangy here.

Otherwise: really great work this app, loving it!

Forgot I already +1'd this, today looked up if there was an issue mentioning this, found this issue, saw my comment 😄

It would also be helpful if you could search through all tables looking for a column name - occasionally I know I have a column with a particular name, but I can't remember which table it is in.

Also it would be nice to see where all of the "price" columns are across all tables etc.
