Hey Brett, external tables you mean, the DB is in the cloud or what does that mean?
To the question with the Icon, yes it really makes sense to identify the service via name AND icon. Unfortunately, NetBeans uses the same icon for each DB connection, doesn’t matter which provider/driver it is (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.). This needs to be changed. Maybe your PR for Amazon could be the first one? I would like to change the icons too (Maybe by finding out the base class/driver to show the specific icon for that). Anyway, a specific icon for the DB is needed imho. In the DB IDE of JetBrains (DataGrip) you can easily see how nice it looks and if you know the icon, you don’t need to read the label anyway. If it is a DataBase, there is no need for a new node. NBMongoDB (I think so) and Cassandra are also under the DB node. So DB (Relational or NoSQL) should be under the same node.

One easy fix is to add EXTERNAL TABLE to JDBCSchema which I’ve tested and is working as expected. It might be noted that we may want to either - have these under a seperate node, though note that system tables don’t - have an augmented icon? I can provide a PR with the change if we’re happy to just return the tables which is the same behaviour for system tables. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
