Session manager

In session manager we can find field databases: separated by semicolon my suggestion is to allow multiselect with ctrl or something like that, now we can select only one position, and other we have to add manually by enter their names separated by semicolon.

Any answer for my suggestion?

Yes, I guess pressing Ctrl when selecting a db should be doable.

Turn combobox for databases in session manager into a drop down menu, and allow multiple checked items. See http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=15081

Done in r4721

It's now a drop down menu with check support for multiple selected databases.

r4722 enhances this drop down with a connection cache, so not every click opens a new connection to the current server parameters.

hi. The problem of choosing a database. It doesn’t happen to use a semicolon. Error on the screen (Windows version of Russian. It says "the database does not exist"). There is no selection from the list menu of several entries.

I can confirm that for PostgreSQL, while it works with MySQL and MariaDB, with checkboxes in that dropdown menu. You should report that in the bug tracker.

Still having this problem in HeidiSQL 11.3 and PostgreSQL.

I cannot select multiple databases in the drop menu. If I use semicolons to manually enter multiple databases I get the same error reported by Efim.

Any workarounds ? Can I bypass this UI and force this parameter somewhere ?

You can't, in PostgreSQL mode. That "Database" (not "Databases" by the way) is used in the connection string, and has to contain a single database, like documented: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING

Indeed, I did not see that the database field's label turns to singular when PostgreSQL is selected. My bad.

However I was lead into error by the placeholder text "Separated by semicolon" of the "Database" field. I though it meant that I could enter multiple databases names.

Oh yes, that's of course an issue. Will change that text hint into something different.
