Feature request: Add search in tables column to quickly find a table.

wout commented 4 years ago

Database version (Ex: PostgreSQL 10.0): N/A
TablePlus version (the number on the welcome or about screen, Ex: build 81): Alpha Build 38 Linux
Linux distro (Ex: Ubuntu 18.04): elementary OS 5.1
The steps to reproduce this issue: It would be great to have a search field in the tables column on the left to quickly find a table. Some projects have many tables and scrolling is not always as convenient.

Thank you. That does seem to be useful :+1: we will definitely consider it.

Hi @wout , have you used the Mac version? There is an "Open anything" feature, which also allow you to type to search for a table and open it.

If we have that "Open anything" in the Linux version, may I assume that we will not need the search field any more?

thien-do commented 4 years ago

Actually we will do both :D each has its own use case

I'll need to check on my Mac. I actually bought TablePlus when I was evaluating Windows, but ultimately I decided to return to Linux. So, I am very grateful you are making the effort to create a Linux version. A straightforward database management tools for Linux is really missing, even if we have Sequeler on elementary OS. That's why I love TablePlus.

I'd be happy to have either one. But both would be even better. 😂️

Thank you!

My 2 cents why separate search for tables could be convenient: imagine you have multiple tables with similar name (e.g. sthLog), then it would nice to type log to filter tables and have list of only those tables. PhpMyAdmin has filter like that and it works great. I have not used finished TablePlus because I am only on linux so I have no idea how it works fully implemented so I let my imagination run... :)

@aurelijusrozenas thank you. Yes it's sure we will support that :D

:+1: for the table filter, I use TablePlus on Mac with Magento development and there are many tables with similar names. Recently switched to Linux for my daily driver, and was very happy to see a Linux version!

I was unaware of the "Find Anything" command on MacOS TablePlus, but after experimenting with it a bit it is a nice feature but not a replacement for table filter. Thanks!

I'm a new user of TablePlus, and I'm missing this search on the columns list. Perhaps you can add a feature to go to the typed name, for instance, if I have 500 columns on a table, and want to get the owner_id, if I type 'ow' with the drop-down opened, it will be great to highlight the first column that have the 'ow', or filter only those columns that have this chars.

Another thing, perhaps you can add a search bar on the tables list, it will help a lot when you have hundreds of tables.

Isn't that the topic of this issue? :)

carvemerson commented 4 years ago

I don't think so. I think this topic is about this filters:

I'm talking about the table list, that is on left (or right) side of the data:

@carvemerson No, it's in fact about the same thing. A search field for tables in the left column. ;)

Ah yes, indeed. :) You are right. Eheheh
