For data managers that have metadata defined, we have to use the builder to form the query, which is inconvenient if we already have the query in a file. I like to see a text box where I can paste in the query, even for data managers with metadata defined.
This should in theory just involve adding a right-click option to bring up the old style query dialog box we used have before the query builder. - John
Yes similar to the view meta data..
Reassigned wrong bug...
Though I was reminded that the old query dialog box mechanism used the old mechanism to submit the query, so there's some refactoring work to be done there to talk to the new style datamanagers. - John
The query builder currently has a hook that says If a MDR does not have a service meta data then it uses the QueryDialog method that we now what to provide as a permanent option. So my new plan is to change the query builder to say in addition to not having service meta data, it'll also use the QueryDialog if a force dialog flag is set. So there will be an additional right click option that will call the query builder with this flag. - John
These changes are checked in. - JT
Marking as fixed, issues can be tracked in their own bug. - JT
Verified the changes in CVS - JT
I can see that the "Submit Query as Text..." option added in the popup menu. If an MDR does not have metadata defined (e.g. the SML MDR), both "Submit Query..." and "Submit Query as Text..." will lead to the same dialog box. Is it possible to hide the "Submit Query..." option if metadata is not available?
That sounds really hard. - JT
I will close the enhancement and open a bug for this problem.
