creating index: missing default name

Post by michabbb » Thu 31 Jul 2014 18:11

hi,

at the versions before 6.2.233 a default name for an index was used, based on unique or not the name looked like: IX_xxxx or UX_xxx (if i remember correctly)...

now, when i create a index, the name IS empty. i have to choose it.
when you started using the dbforge naming, i would like to stay on this read.

please add the index naming again, that was a little but extremly useful helper.

thanks,
micha

The index name will generate after you select any column in the field Name. Depending on the checkbox Unique, it will be either IX_xxxx or UX_xxx. Is it not like this on your side?

you are right, maybe in older versions, the first column was already selected so i always saw a name, and now i have to choose a column, that seems to be the confusing here ;) thanks....
