enhancement: pagination #201

Closed MattiasMTS closed 1 year ago

MattiasMTS commented 1 year ago

Hi @kristijanhusak!

Just want to say, I fricking love this plugin - definitely enhanced my developer workflow. I was wondering about two things:

  1. dbout pagination
  2. lua fork

Essentially, do you think it is possible to add a pagination style to the dbout? It is always frustrating when you query something "super large" and the dbout basically freezes the screen hehe. Similarly to nvim-dbee it would be cool if, on dbout, one could toggle "left/right" on "H/L" keymaps, where each pagination would toggle e.g. 100 rows at a time. What do you think?

Secondly, do you think it is worth extending/re-writing this plugin in lua? Just wondering what's your view is on this :>

Again, thanks!

The output of the query is handled by the underlying CLI tool (psql, mysql, etc.) via vim-dadbod. The plugin you linked seems to have its own backend so it's able to handle that. That is out of scope for this plugin.

Secondly, do you think it is worth extending/re-writing this plugin in lua?

I was thinking about this but it would cause incompatibility with Vim. Since vim-dadbod supports both Vim and Neovim, I'm also planning to support both for the time being.

Alright, that makes sense 😄 Thanks for giving your thoughts on this @kristijanhusak with such short notice. I hope you have an amazing day! Closing this issue now. 💚
