FR: Ablity to use filter without waiting for SELECT * to complete #8

Closed jcohlmeyer closed 6 years ago

jcohlmeyer commented 6 years ago

When I first open a table I have to wait for the SELECT * to complete before I can use the filter tab to filter results, this can take a long time on a table with many rows.

It would be great if there was a feature where we could use the filter options without having to wait for the return of SELECT *

You can avoid having to perform an initial query by expanding the columns underneath the table tree and selecting all of the columns you would like to include in the filter. The column selection drop-down in the filter expression builder will contain all of the highlighted columns.

I find this to be a very non-intuitive and sub par answer. I would like to see at least a preference where the auto initial query does not happen if the row count is over X, using a simple row count query before doing the initial lookup.
