Several times I have selected too many rows from a table while playing with the database in MySQL.exe (Win2k). So rather than wait for several thousand rows to scroll by, I press Ctrl-C. Of course this terminates the MySQL.Exe program entirely and puts me back at the DOS prompt. This is rather annoying because now I have to re-run MySQL.exe, and reconnect to the database, enter the pw etc.
1) Why does pressing Ctrl-C send me to the DOS prompt? Why not just stop the currently executing command to allow me to stay within the program? 2) If for some reason Ctrl-C can't keep the user inside the program, why not have MySQL.exe check the keyboard buffer for the Escape key every couple of seconds, and if found, stop the SQL command?
