Dump Databases is missing #38

Closed MarieSaphira closed 4 years ago

MarieSaphira commented 4 years ago

In a previous version the databases and their content could be displayed by using "dump databases" from the TyphonQL context menu in eclipse. It's not there anymore.

We have replaced the backend of the IDE. It used to be that it connected directly to the different databases. This so-called debug environment helped us to develop QL. Now instead the IDE connects to the polystore server sending REST calls. We have not exposed in the REST API a functionality to dump the databases, since we considered it a feature of the debug mode (partly because we thought it did not make much sense in real-case scenarios to dump all the database content).

This is the reason why the context menu does not display this option anymore. I will close the issue for now but feel free to reopen it if you think this feature is really necessary and we can have a discussion about it.
