Add Multiple Query Windows to UI (via tabs) #177

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Most other SQL type programs allow you to work on many different queries at the 
same time.  Most of the time it is useful if you are working out a smaller 
query for use in the bigger query.  Or doing a quick query with grouping to see 
all the possibilities that could be returned by a column.

Enabling multiple query boxes via a tabbed environment would be an interesting 
addition to the BigQuery UI

Right now, chances of supporting multiple tabs inside the BQ UI are small. An 
early prototype of the UI actually had that feature, but at the time we found 
it unwieldy.

The "group by" feature is interesting, though, and possibly something we could 
support in the future.

Anyway, for the time being, I would suggest opening multiple browser tabs if 
you want to work with multiple queries at the same time.
