I know you have seen this request in email but I thought I'd officially log it: it would be great to allow tables with PKs set to be updated by double-clicking a cell in the result grid.

Research direction

Start by locating the SQL Query View and its result grid, then trace how tables with primary keys are represented. Determine the existing query-result interaction and the edit path needed for double-clicking a cell; done means qualifying table results can be updated while other results remain unaffected.
