--- Comment #18 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #14) > Lionel/Alex/Robert: just wondering, what's the purpose to have only 1 Mysql > entry, just to limit the number of entries? I seem to recall that we did this originally, ie. a single long list of connection possibilities. I don't remember now why the the drill down second step dialog was introduced, probably to make the choice selection more focussed and to differentiate it from general JDBC connections, as it might have been felt that there were too many choices in the initial dialog. If we were to continue down that route, we should consider doing the same for Postgresql and other dB backends such as Sqlite or similar which have multiple connector possibilities. I fear however, that that would only complexify the UI code further. I have no strong opinion either way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
