Enhancement Request – PostgreSQL Editor Results Section Usability

Syniti Knowledge PlatformMigrate

We would like to request a few usability enhancements in the PostgreSQL Editor – Results section, based on our day‑to‑day usage.

Observations / Current Limitations

  1. In the query results section, the horizontal scroll bar is only visible when scrolling to the very bottom of the page.
    This makes it inconvenient to view wide result sets with many columns.

  2. There is no option to copy multiple selected columns or the entire result set at once, unlike standard SQL editors (e.g., pgAdmin, SQL Developer).
    Currently, copying data is limited and time‑consuming for analysis and sharing.

Requested Enhancements

We request the following improvements in upcoming releases:

  1. Always‑visible horizontal scroll bar (or a fixed scroll bar at the top of the results grid) to easily navigate wide result sets.

  2. Ability to select and copy multiple columns, multiple rows, or the entire result set in one action.

  3. Option to copy results with column headers.

These enhancements would significantly improve productivity and align the PostgreSQL editor experience with commonly used SQL tools.

Please let us know if any of these features are already planned, or if additional inputs are required from our side.

Thanks,

Srikanth Vavilala

    YES YES YES this needs to happen ASAP. I’ll also throw in record count of the query you execute - this should appear at the top, not the bottom. There is also way too much real estate wasted by white space.

    If there is a UI designer associated with SQL Editor, please have them reach out to me to experience ‘a day in the life’. Productivity is reduced by >20% in my estimation because of the layout and bad UX.

      Yes, It is really hard to read the results with so much white spaces. There is no way for us to adjust the alignment unlike SQL.
