<pre>Description:
Tools > SQL opens a dialog from which ad-hoc SQL statements can be submitted.
As someone who uses Base as a tool for quick ad-hoc data massaging, this is
among my most frequently used tools; however, I feel UX could be improved in a
few ways:
* Don’t make it a modal dialog. There’s really no need why I should not be able
to do anything in the main window while this dialog is open. In fact, I would
recommend making this not only a non-model dialog but a side pane, similar to
the Document Navigator or Styles and Formatting in other LO apps.
* Save the list of previous commands at least for the entire session (i.e. do
not clear it when the dialog is closed and reopened), maybe even across
sessions.
* For select statements, display the number of rows returned (maybe even if
“show output of SELECT statements” is unchecked)
