A few weeks ago we released an Explorer to do some basic querying:
We’re back with a few tweaks!
The quick and dirty:
- Added query cancellation which will execute if you leave before a query completes - there’s also a button if you need to cancel your query yourself
- Added loading state during query execution
- Added client-side sortable table with JavaScript hook
- Show query results in an actual table with option to view in markdown
- Added some optimized rendering for a few types of data on the table, made them easy to expand whole values if they aren’t easy to view in a cell format, and made it easy to copy the data
- Preserve query text, results when switching between databases, tabs
- Updated execution shortcut to cmd-enter or shift-enter so it’s easier to enter larger queries
- Some more guts that should better ensure your queries can run
Here’s a preview of how some of that looks:
