Feature Description
Suggestion
- Provide an option to reduce or eliminate vertical spacing between result sets.
- Or add a setting like
minimalSpacingBetweenResultSets: true
to the extension settings. - Ideally, empty result sets (with 0 rows) should be collapsible or hidden by default.
Benefit
- Improves readability for users working with multi-grid reports or stored procedures.
- Reduces scroll fatigue and helps data appear more logically grouped.
Problem and Motivation
Problem
When running a SQL query that returns multiple result sets, the spacing between the first and second result sets is often very large — especially if the first set contains only a few rows (e.g., input parameters). This creates an awkward and inefficient visual experience, especially when reading across multiple result grids.
Example:
- Result Set 1: 1-row parameter summary
- Result Set 2: Main table (actual data)
- Result Set 3: Header mapping
Result Set 1 and 2 are separated by a large gap (several empty rows worth of space), while 2 and 3 appear close together.
