• DataDigger is an OpenEdge ABL application for querying Progress databases, written by Patrick Tingen. A DataDigger instance is bundled with this extension, but it can also be installed manually.
• This extension depends on the OpenEdge ABL extension by Riverside Software.

Description

For every OpenEdge project with a configured database connection, DataDigger can be launched directly from the VS Code Command Palette.

You can either use a custom-installed and configured DataDigger instance, or use the bundled DataDigger out of the box.

Usage

At startup, the extension detects the available OpenEdge projects. Via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), DataDigger can be launched using the command:

ABL DataDigger: Launch

If multiple OpenEdge projects are detected, you will be prompted to select the project to use.
