As a summary of our findings in writing:
Below is a table of user needs we discovered and solutions we or the
customers suggested. Some of the "missing" features people complained about
are not missing at all (such as auto-complete or syntax highlighting) but
the fact that people didn't know about them points to a discoverability
issue we believe we can address through design.
Needs
Suggested Solutions
Users need a reliable way to save their queries frequently
Autosave, Persisting & Complete History, Persisting Un-run queries after
disconnect
Users need a more efficient way to type
Auto-discoverable Autocomplete, Customize shortcuts, more visible syntax
highlighting
Users need a process to share query output with others
Copy and Paste into Excel with proper formatting, Export button to MS XML
Users need a way to quickly input content into pgAdmin
Edit within graphic table
Users need query output to be stored to reuse results
Results stored in history
Users need an easier way to find saved queries
Workspace, Search
