Not quite sure of what you means. These are strings for a button in the
toolbar. If you are on the query tab, this button will execute the
query. If you are on the GQB tab, this button will build the SQL.

It would be better if the hint was modified when the tab is changed.
That's done on a patch yet to be commited.

There are the same things. I kept the Gettoken one (on a patch yet to be
commited).

Did you actually really get this query? because DESC, FIRST, LAST, NULL
are, AFAIK, only part of the UI strings. They are not used to build SQL
queries.

I took a look at this. These are strings used in the properties panel.
They have to be different from the ones on the autovacuum tab, but we
can use something else than the parameters' names. I'll change this.

There's a much worse problem with this. I'll work on it.

Done.

Thanks for all.
