Re: PATCH: Choose best width for Data Output columns of Query tool - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

Dinesh, can you review this please? In particular, please check it
retains the column sizes following refresh if the user has customised
them, and that it puts a limit on the size of very long columns so the
user doesn't potentially end up with extremely wide columns that
require excessive scrolling (I would suggest that a column should
never take up more than 50% of the visible space, unless that space
would otherwise be unused (e.g. you have 1 very narrow column, and one
large).

Thanks.
