Feature request: open local database without registering #31

Open reiniero opened 10 years ago

For a next version: Sometimes you just want to manage a database file on the local filesystem (e.g. Windows embedded, or localhost on Windows/*nix) without going through the steps of registering the database.

Suggest menu File/Open, allow file selection; then pop up the connection window with the databse, username SYSDBA, role RDB$ADMIN, character set UTF8 filled in already. Clicking connect will open the db. Internally perhaps a temporary registration entry could be used (e.g. a registration with an empty name, where the details are erased after closing the db)
