Support multiple server sessions in the same window

Open maxclaus opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Nowadays we can have multiple databases open with a server session. But if we want to open another server then we need to open a new window. That means more memory consumption and it gets worse if the user needs to connect into several different servers. That is why supporting multiple server sessions in the same window is a nice feature to have.

With the recent change removing the Electron remote calls and moving all db-core logic into the browser process we already share the same process for multiple server sessions coming from different windows. So, it shouldn't be so complicated from the browser side. I imagine most of work will be done in the renderer process changing the UI to display multiple sever sessions in the same window.

This should be done after the new UI implementation https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui/issues/546
