Data Editor and Viewer

Limit page size to

Number of table rows that are shown on one page. If you do not want to limit the number of rows displayed simultaneously, clear the checkbox.

Also, you can change the page size by clicking the Change page size list of the pagination toolbar.

Consider the following example where Limit page size to is set to 2:

Result set prefetch size

Number of rows from a database that is retrieved in one chunk.

A bigger number means less round trips between IDE and a database but more memory for storing a chunk.

Filter history size

Number of recently-used filtering conditions that are saved for a table in a data editor. Consider the following example where Filter history size is set to 2. The filter history box contains only two conditions.

To open the filter history in the editor, click the WHERE or ORDER BY field and press Alt+Down.

Show boolean values as

Set how you want to display boolean values in the data editor. You can select between the following options.

• Text: boolean values are shown as text. White dots are displayed with the true values to help you distinguish them from the false ones.

  

  There are the following options of editing a boolean value that is shown as text:

  1. Double-click a cell and select a value from the drop-down list.

  2. To toggle the values, select a cell and press Space.

  3. To set a certain value, select a cell and type the value's first letter: f for false, t for true, d for default, n for null, g for generated, and c for computed.

• Checkboxes: boolean values are shown as checkboxes. If the checkbox is selected, the value is true. If the checkbox is cleared, the value is false.

  

To set NULL or DEFAULT values, right-click a cell and select Set NULL or Set DEFAULT.

Automatically transpose tables
