[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-896?page=co... ] Joseph Marques commented on HBX-896: ------------------------------------ In fact, instead of highlight-run there's a more user-friendly solution. Just position the cursor in any part of the desired query section (boundaries denoted by the use of separating comments), and click run. If the cursor is inside a comment (or perhaps on the same line as a comment, if they are to be line comments instead of block comments [supporting both would be great]), then the execute function should be disabled. In other words, the execute functionality then becomes contingent on where the cursor is. However, I think think that there is a benefit to the highlight-run strategy, because it would allow sub-portions of queries to be selected and run independently. One great use case for this would be to highlight-run a sub-select, to see if it returns the correct sub-results, and if it does to then run the entire query because I know the sub-select is perfect. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-896?page=co... ] Joseph Marques commented on HBX-896: ------------------------------------ Yeah, semi-colon is fine. It'll probably be adopted more naturally by people who are used to sending and separating multiple sql statements in the same batch to the database. I still think it would be nice to support comments in the HQL editor, if not to generate tab names for the query results, then at least to help summarize a very complex query in more natural language. Sometimes I even start by writing out the query as a sentence and then translate it bit by bit. However, if the query has errors the first time around, I'd like to still keep the comment there to read and compare from, which is why I think there is value to supporting these. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
