Feature Request: Peek Content #376

Open David-Rushton opened 6 years ago

David-Rushton commented 6 years ago

It would be great if we could peek at the contents of a table\view, similar to the way we can peek at the definition.

Often when writing queries I need to see the data. This reminds me how the table works and which field(s) I need. As you begin to join tables it becomes progressively harder to preview the contents inline. Often I open a second tab to help me explore my data.

Idea:

  1. Highlight table\view name.
  2. Choose Peek Data from context menu.
  3. Peek window displays first 100 records.

Perhaps a better implementation for programmers: just peek, but add a data tab image This would allow me to easily toggle between the two which I think would be useful.
