Planning of Vstudio development for Mon - Wed, 24 - 26 Sept

[Ruslan Zasukhin]

Hi All,

We plan on Wed make 3.5 with NEW OR feature:  PROPERTIES of DB objects


*** ENGINE ***

* Ivan implements 

   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list TO VALUE
   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list OF DATABASE TO value_list
   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list OF TABLE    TO value_list
   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list OF FIELD    TO value_list
   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list OF SERVER     TO value_list
   SET/GET PROPERTY pro_list OF CONNECTION TO value_list

   SHOW PROPERTIES OF [DATABASE | TABLE | FIELD | ... ]



*** Valentina Studio ***

1) Igor have bring idea in the tree view add to RIGHT big pane
    a splitter like have XCODE. When this splitter opens
    we can have in bottom part the Text Editor for such things as
        Triggers and new feature - PROPERTIES.

    IMHO very comfortable, so I agree that Igor made it for 3.5


2) Valentina Studio must support this new Properties feature, so

 * Igor will add them into Property Inspector as new group
        
            > User Properties

 * It needs add them into both column and tree view:
       
    ** in column view - into menus
    ** in tree views - as sub-folders of objects.
       
 * in the header of column view must be added button
    [Add Property] when we select an object that can have properties.

 * Such commands as [Add Property], [Delete Property] should be added
     into contextual menus for all objects which can have properties.

    

3) COMMENTS COMMENTS COMMENTS !!!!!!

    Let me remind that we have start this wave of PROPERTY task
    to satisfy USER-requests to have COMMENTS for different
    database objects as Diagrams, Db, Tables, Columns, Links, Triggers.

So IMHO above mechanism of universal work with Properties for Vstudio will
not be enough... It needs to have a VERY FAST AND SIMPLE way to SEE comments
for an object if they exists...

How to do this? May be via tool tip...but we have tooltips...
May be only via tooltip on diagram objects? We need find this way...
