I've been using this for use with both MySQL and mariaDB because MySQLWorkbench seems to crash when talking to mariaDB.

Thanks for creating it, it's been very helpful.

I've been an SSMS user for years and there are a number of features I'd love to see implemented.

  1. Add a way to expand the table view to see columns, triggers, indexes and other table objects.
  2. Drag column names to query window (works with #1 when the table objects are expanded). Useful for generating inserts and dynamic SQL.
  3. Associate query window with server/database (affinity). No way to know which database a query is running against and too easy to make changes in the wrong one.
  4. Ability to select entire row/column for pasting.

There are a couple of annoyances:

  1. Edit some text in the middle of the last line of a query. Down arrow to next line, shift up arrow to select previous line, the cursor ends up in middle of line instead of beginning. Workaround is down arrow, left arrow, right arrow, shift up arrow.
  2. Closing tabs - can't close (open new server/switch to different server?) Right click on the tab and the "close tab" option is grayed out. It appears that the only to close it is to select a different server on the left pane.
