I am sooo impressed with this new release! And that scratch pad is a really helpfull addition, I fell in love with
it.<br/><br />BUT... that is a dangerous love, I learned. <br /><br />What happened?<br /><br />I constructed a fine
query:<br /><br />select md5(array_to_string(array( select md5(id_pkl||id_label || id_lg || name_l||letztespeicherung)
fromotlabel where quarant=0 ),''))<br /><br />ran it, got a checksum for a WHOLE table (I was sooo proud of myself :)
...<br /><br />and copied it to the scratch pad.<br /><br />Then, I wanted to test if this checksum really changes when
changesare made to the table ... , so I changed the query:<br /><br />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 ),'')) <br
/><br/>and pressed F5. Quickly, the interface blinked, and --- the result stayed the same! Wuha?<br /><br />I changed
thequery more and more, nearly panicked ... <br /><br />and then learned: hey, I was pressing F5 with focus on the
scratchpad. NOTHING was done to my query result :( Of course not --- it's just a scratch pad. <br /><br />So I propose
asmall 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" <br /><br />I burned my fingers and learned. Please save others from burning
