Feature request: sending commands before the query @ import

[eliott]

Hi!

The remote import feature is very useful, however, on many occasions i'd have to send a special sql command before the actual query runs.

With some mysql 4.X installations the encoding detection is broken, so I would need to send 'set names utf8' or 'set names latin2' before the query.
I tried to include that the preliminary command in the query field, but it didn't work.
It would be nice if I had a field to specify the commands that get sent right after connecting.

Thanks and regards
Eliott

So you want to be able to type several commands in the command field, right?

 

[eliott]

well yes.

either the box accepts multiple commands and only returns the resultset from the last or there is a separate field to config commands. both would be useful;

Ok. I take note for a future version.
