mattcasters opened a new pull request, #8405: URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/pull/8405
Fixes #8361 Link the RDBMS connection metadata editor and the Database perspective so you can explore and query a connection without bouncing through extra dialogs. ### What changed - **Connection editor**: *Open in Database* (next to Explore) activates the Database perspective on that connection and opens a SQL tab. Unsaved connections with a name still work via an in-memory fallback. If the Database perspective is disabled, the floating Database window is used instead. - **Database workbench**: *Edit connection* on the toolbar and tree context menu opens the connection in the Metadata perspective (or a dialog if that perspective is disabled). Same control in the perspective, floating window, and dock. - **Database explorer**: Open SQL / Generate DDL / Truncate use the floating Database window (same as transform SQL buttons). DDL for another connection binds the SQL tab to the **target** connection. A toolbar button jumps to the Database perspective on the explorer's connection (and closes the explorer). The Linux explorer is no longer application-modal so that floating window stays usable. - **SqlEditor** stays as a public API for other callers (for example hopper-edw). - Docs updated for the Database perspective and RDBMS connection pages. ### Tests Targeted UI unit tests: `DisabledPerspectivesTest`, `DatabaseWorkbenchViewsTest`, `DatabaseWorkbenchReloadMetaTest` (19 tests). ------------------------ Thank you for your contribution!
