Description
Describe the new feature
Currently only the last result, in a series of results, is shown when executing SQL. For example:
select 1 as value ;
select 2 as value ;
select 3 as value ;
will result in the value being shown for the select 3 as value ; statement. What I'm proposing is, like MySQL workbench, that the result section of the Execute SQL tab become a list of tabs and each result is listed in a separate tab. In the example above, in MySQL workbench, the result section would have 3 tabs:
- the first tab would be a table with one column labeled value with a single row containing 1
- the second tab would be a table with one column labeled value with a single row containing 2
- the third tab would be a table with one column labeled value with a single row containing 3
