Funny how after you post, you find the solution to your problem.

So it was user error partially.

Backticks are required around the domain name.

The reason why my queries weren’t executing was because I had them ending in a semi-colon (habit from years of demarcating sql this way). The ending semi-colon caused it not to run correctly.

Cool tool. I got some basic stuff working. However, I’m trying to use it with some domains autocreated by SimpleJPA and they have the name format “MyDB-Users”;

i’ve tried

select * from MyDB-Users
select * from `MyDB-Users`

and single/double quotes. None of them work. I’m guessing the dash is the problem (which is automatically inserted by simplejpa) but the backtick should still work. I’m guessing this isn’t built it. Or maybe this is just a serious case of user error.

I couldn’t find a reference to your email on the typica page, but took a guess. If you didn’t receive it, echo me back at nicpottier at the gmail.

I’ve put copy cell/row into a popup menu. Copies cell or tab separated row data to clipboard.

Hi Nic,
Yes, e-mail me the patches and I’ll integrate them. I’m about to check-in the new/delete domain features. I’ll wait a bit before pushing a release out (for your changes). you can find my e-mail via the typica home page.

Hi again,

Figured out what my problem was, queries fail on the first go unless you set the domain via the drop down. I’ve fixed that along with a few other issues (better error reporting) and changed the input layout a bit. It now has a single text field for the query with up/down history support and then a scrollable log/history above it. This makes communication of errors / status messages a bit more natural IMO.

I’d be happy to submit it back, just drop me an email and I’ll get it to you.

So I pulled from the branch and after figuring out it was pointing to the wrong simple db service (at least for my testing) I got it up and running off of built code. But it looks like there are still some other issues as I’m not getting results back.

I’m going to keep digging a bit, but is the branch in a known ‘unstable’ state. Are you interested in receiving patches for create/drop/delete functionality?

Thanks! I was trying to avoid going down the slippery slope of supporting put operations. I think domain create/delete make sense (though, create is a bit of a “put”).
