Basically the key is going to be the non-editable field (unique key) and
the user can not change it. Users can only change name and SQL, so the key
is in first place.

We use the delete icon to completely delete the row from the grid but here
we are not going to delete the row, only clearing the name and SQL fields
for the selected row. So, the macro details against that key will be
removed from the database but the key remains in the database.

Sure, we can have a drop down menu as you suggested but not sure about the
selecting the entered query and can use that directly in the New Macro
dialog as we will have a list of macros.
