When I execute a query and right click in the results area, I get a pop-up menu with the following options:
- Save Grid as Report …
- Single Record View …
- Count Rows …
- Find/Highlight …
- Export …
If I select “Count Rows”, is there a way to interrupt the operation if it starts taking too long?
No, you don’t seem to be able to.
When you select
Count Rowsfrom the context menu, it runs the count on the main UI thread, hanging the whole UI, potentially for minutes or hours.It’s best not to use that feature – just put
select count (*) from ( < your query here>)which it runs properly on separate thread which can be cancelled.
