Hi,
I think the extension is pretty good so far from what I've seen. But I'm unable to use it straight away as I'm having problems with two things. I've got tables with spaces in the column names. Which the extension isn't able to handle. I'm also having problems with the layout and the width of the query results table. I'd like to be able to control it with custom CSS if at all possible.
Also it'd be really nice to be able to have date/time pickers that we could use for range searches for report creation.
Keep up the great work,
Trevor.

Hi Trevor,
thank you for supporting the extension developement.
About white spaces in column names:
I have looked in several books about using spaces in column names and nobody encourages this.
Joe Celko - SQL For Smarties (page 6)
"Standard SQL allows you to use spaces, reserved words, and
special characters in a name if you enclose them in double
quotation marks, but this should be avoided as much as
possible."
So, write a simple SQL script to change column names with spaces or just find one on the web. Please do that firstly on the testing DB and check everything works ok.
About layout and the width of the table:
We are prepairing our first minor release, which will include:
- simple column name order handling
- color picker
- header name switch off/on
- row number switch off/on
- row count off/on
- custom column width (px, %)
- and more (it is a surprise )
It will be possible to download first minor release in the registered area for our customers. It will include simple upgrade. We havent yet decided when, but after week or two I think it will be prepared and fully tested.
We are also collecting suggestions since we have lunched our first release (one week ago). Promising suggestions will be surely included, our goal is to be simple and functional.
After our first release (one week ago) we can see large interest in using our extension, that is really nice feeling for our developers.
Thanks again for using this extension.
