Selecting tables from Browser - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers
Hello!
Our team is working on validating a solution for viewing many tables in the Catalog Browser. We've heard through user interviews that some schemas hold many tables (over 10000 in some cases) and when expanding tables, the browser crashes. In cases where people are able to view tables in the catalog browser, finding the relevant tables requires a lot of search/scrolling.
We are testing these designs over the next few weeks. In particular we're looking to validate/invalidate if:
(Terry is our DBA persona)
Here are the screens:
01 Open 'Object Manager' by clicking on tables in the browser. (not attached to 'object manager', open to suggestions)
02 Most DBAs tend to know which tables they're working with on a high level. Here they can filter down the list.
03 Alternatively, DBAs can just select the tables they need.
04 once selected, the tables appear in the browser
Part of our test is to learn how users expect to re-open the object manager as well.
Feedback is welcome. We'll consolidate feedback from here with the feedback we get from user tests and share that out in a few weeks once the sessions are done.
