Re: Regarding feature #3319

Hi Aditya,

As we are already storing the query history in the pgAdmin 4's database
file.
I am planning to store the information the same way. That can be an
internal database file like SQLite or external database.

Let me know if you all have any suggestions on this.

Thanks
Anil
