Using a UI to explore data is like looking at the picture instead of someone describing the picture with words.
You put too many bezier curves on a page on my eyes go cross. They don't even bother to make the lines different colors. Just a bunch of white curves against a fixed grid layout. Wut?
It's taking well structured data and then destructuring it into an inaccurate sloppy picture. I don't get it.
You could argue that "events" are primary in which case just switch the order of that and "speakers."
I'd color the table headers differently and different from each other and have the arrows leaving that box match the color of the box it's leaving. Also drop "public:". It's expected and default so it does not need to be displayed here.
Drop the key icon and just make the key fields in bold or with a different style.
Don't make me hunt around to match information and don't be afraid to use differential styling.
Like, you can make websites graphically with DreamWeaver (or something), but I think most people say that you're better off using HTML and CSS and whatnot if you know how to use that.
Is this GUI stuff something people who are good at SQL actually use or is this mostly for new people?
My first step was to look at the data using the UI. Then when I tested my queries, I also just ran them in the UI.
It’s just faster.
I never used the UI for “simple” queries since there wasn’t anything to test.
