Shared Queries

[jobdiogenes]

Its not really a bug, but a feature that could be very useful.
Since the database is very big, and we couldn't teach everyone hot to make queries.
Then, would be nice if we could share some queries.

The current workaround for sharing a query is:

1. Open a query
2. Copy the URL from the address bar
3. Send it to another user

Then, a set person can execute the query, or clone it in order to make changes.

thanks for above workaround.
Agree though, enhancing this, so queries can be shared is a key enhancement. Doesn't need to be really complex - could we just share a default set of queries as an XML fragment, similarly to simple search config or something? - and manage through resource manager?

Shared queries should potentially be read-only.

From @grantfitzsimmons:

Non-editable queries that are anchored to the Specify instance created by admin users for all users to see (they could all be sitting in a specific folder)

Is it possible for all users to see the record sets and queries created by the administrator/manager of the database?

This likely requires a schema change to add a boolean field indicating whether the query should be shared or not

Sharing queries, record sets, and workbenches would be great!
