RE: SQL Workbench/J and column descriptions

Thanks, I found what turns it on atleast. But it isn't documented ANYWHERE other then this bug note that I could find:

If you set "metadata source" to 0, then it will start to show all the column comments.

Still haven't figured out how to have it show the short and long column names.

Is that old V5R2 reference still valid for the latest JTOpen release? It seems JTOPEN should publish a list of all extended properties on the JDBC driver but sadly I can not find it.

You want to set the "Extended Metadata property" The next version of the SqlWorkbench documentation will state this explicitly, or if you want to build the manual from subversion you can see the notes I added here. I'm pretty sure the archives of this list mention how to do it,

Some more settings you might care about:

You probably also want to set "data compression".

Does anyone know if there is a setting in SQL Workbench/J when running
against the JTOPen driver to show the column descriptions in the
results grid?

Right now it only shows the column name, but I was hoping it could do
the
following:


1. Show the Description of the column

2. Show the Short (10 char version) and Long version of the column
name
