VS Code and Oracle Extension - Results Data Grid

User_2BO16

How can you make the Results Grid be in the same tab as the SQL statements?

How can you make the Results Grid be larger? It seems to be a fixed size.

How can you make the Results Grid scroll? I would rather scroll compared to paging.

This is currently not possible, but in the next release we hope to make it easier to have both SQL and Results tabs visible at the same time. For now you can do the following:

• In the VS Code menu, select View->Editor Layout->Two Rows.
• Execute some SQL or PL/SQL
• Drag the SQL results tab into the lower pane.
• Any additional SQL executions will continue to be displayed in this tab in the lower pane until it is closed.

You can't resize only the results grid. But if you are having trouble reading it you can temporarily increase and decrease all fonts in VS Code by pressing Ctrl + and Ctrl -

I hear you. We used to be scrollable in an older version but we had a lot of issues with the grid control we are using so we had to change it. (You can still see the data in a scrollable format if you right click on a table name in Oracle Database Explorer and select "show data"). As an ugly workaround, I suppose you could create a view based on the query you wish to scroll through and then do a "show data" on the view.

Thanks. That helps.

I like the VS Code extension. I know it doesn't have all the features of SQL Developer tool. But, I am often in VS Code and prefer to use it if possible.

Once the data grid can scroll... I think I would use this as my preferred SQL editor. Until then, I will just keep checking back for updates.

Again, appreciate the reply and the work that has been done on this extension. Lots of good things.
