Default PgAdmin Wishlist: export to clipboard

I allready can export query results to a text file as CSV.

With ...another database and another tool... I often use the "export to
clipboard" functionality for exporting a small amount of query
results. (i.e. "distinct values in the "title" field of addresses"

Possible placement would be within the "Export" Dialog,
make a radio select

( ) Filename [filenameselector]
( ) to Clipboard

as wx has a wx.Clipboard-class -> that may be doable, or?

Best wishes

Harald

Dear Harald,

If I'm getting you right, you are looking for exporting the result grid
of a query via Clipboard, right?
The function is already there.
Procedure: run a query as usual, an get the result in the grid.
Click on the caret left top on the grid, where the column-names and
row-numbers intersect.
This will mark the whole result set (alternatively you can mark the
lines individually, if so desired)
Now go with CTRL-C for Copy and paste the content with CTRL-V in the
context you desire.


pgAdmin-Team. The above works great, as far as it comes to plain-text.
When trying to paste the clipboard to Excel (German version) - it
wouldn't work,
because the default column separator is TAB and not selicolon. (it might
work in English environment?)

Would it be possible to implement the setup for clipboard export
configurable?
I saw that in other tools and love it.
Then the copy and paste to (German)-Excel would be a snap.

Thanks an regards
Mathais Durst

Hello,
if I can wish something, it would be an Export in the
Format pg_dump is using (as a Script). This would
be very helpfull.

Greetings

Michael Möhle
