I would like to see a search feature ala HeidiSQL and a 'Show all' feature with the pagination, perhaps with the option to limit how many records are shown. A most excellent program!

Thanks for stopping by to comment, and thanks for the awesome work you've done on SQL Buddy. I'm really loving it. I hadn't considered the issue with edit in place for longer field types like text and blob, but I see where it could be a problem. Something that I've seen with desktop apps is that they'll pop out a little multi-line box when you're editing a field that holds more than a single line of data. You might be able to use a textarea to emulate that in SQL Buddy. Or you could just leave it out, because the solution you've got now works just fine. Thanks again! Hey Calvin.

I'm the developer of SQL Buddy. Glad you like my app. When I created the mock-ups for the interface, I was planning on adding edit-in-place. When I actually started programming the app, I found that edit-in-place didn't really work that well. For example, some databases can have text fields that hold 10,000 words of text. I found that it was difficult to make an interface that was intuitive. In the end, I ditched edit-in-place and moved to the current model. However, after reading your comments I will consider making some changes to the interface to make it less confusing. Thanks for the feedback. Scott, thanks for writing this post.
