What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a table with lots and lots of fields, many of which contain numerical
data which isn't easily distinguishable at a quick glance.
2. Decide you want to delete (say) record number 37.
3. Scroll across to the far end of the row to find the delete button. Realize
before you get there that you've lost track of which record number 37 was.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This was a point raised by a participant in an ORDS training course. He
suggested that it would be really useful to be able to click on a particular
record (maybe on the primary key field) to highlight it.
This would have uses beyond just the case of deleting a record outlined above.
If, for example, you're working through a large data table checking the data
contained therein, being able to highlight the record you're currently on makes
it much easier to keep track of where you are.
(A slightly more advanced option would be to have something like the Excel
freeze panes feature, where you can indicate that you want the initial
column(s) to remain visible as you scroll across. But while this would be
useful, I suspect it would also be more complex to implement - and might not
even be as useful for keeping track of one's place in a large table as just
being able to highlight a row would be.)
