Evolution, by making us a more juvenile species, has made us weaker than our primate cousins, but it has also given us our child's curiosity, our capacity to learn and our deep sense of attachment to each other.Īnd of course the lifelong capacity to learn is the reason why neoteny has worked so well for our species. Neoteny is a short-cut taken by evolution – a route that brings about a whole bundle of changes in one go, rather than selecting for them one by one. Our lifelong curiosity and playfulness is a behavioural characteristic of neoteny. A large brain relative to body size is another. Being relatively hairless is one physical example. It means that as a species we are more child-like than other mammals. This is a term from evolutionary theory that means the "retention of juvenile characteristics". The roots of our peculiar curiosity can be linked to a trait of the human species call neoteny. So why did we evolve to waste so much time? Shouldn't evolution have selected for a species which was – you know – a bit more focussed? We associate evolution with ‘survival-of-the-fittest’ traits that support the essentials of day-to-day survival and reproduction. We just love to know the answers to things, even if there's no obvious benefit.įrom the perspective of evolution this appears to be something of a mystery. Our curiosity has us doing utterly unproductive things like reading news about people we will never meet, learning topics we will never have use for, or exploring places we will never come back to. We humans have a deeply curious nature, and more often than not it is about the minor tittle-tattle in our lives. What could be going on in your brain to make you so inquisitive? It’s unlikely to make you attractive to the opposite sex.Īnd yet if I were to say that I will teach you a valuable lesson about your inner child, I hope you will want to carry on reading, driven by nothing more than your curiosity to find out a little more. It won't provide any information that might save your life. See the Go Forward and Go Backward menu items in the View menu.I hate to disappoint you, but whatever your ambitions, whatever your long-term goals, I'm pretty sure that reading this column isn’t going to further them. Querious maintains a history of each view and selection you use to so that you can use browser-like forward/backward navigation to quickly move between locations. Notice that the results in the screenshot below are limited to the “sakila” database based on the partial match of “sak”. The search field also accepts any partial matches, and also understands the “database.object” naming scheme from MySQL to narrow results down to only that given database. In this search field you can type the name of a database, table, view, etc to quickly select and display it. The View ➞ Go To… menu item displays a search field in a floating window.
You can also right-click on any table, view, database, etc in the sidebar on the left side of the Content and Structure views, and select Open in New Tab. To create a new tab connected to the same server as the curent tab, use the File ➞ New Connected Tab menu item.
#QUERIOUS TO FIND OUT WINDOWS#
Tabs can be dragged between windows or torn out to create a new window. Each tab is independent and can be connected to the same or different MySQL servers.
Slow Queries - Catch slow-running queries to find opportunities for optimizationĮach connection window can contain multiple tabs, just like the Safari web browser.Error Log - See all notes, warnings, and errors logged by the server.Processes - Monitor currently running connections/processes on the server.Server Status - See an overview of server info, bandwidth usage, connections, threads, and other status variables.Variables - View and edit server global variables.Events - View scheduled events, and turn on/off the scheduler.Users - Add/edit users, passwords, and privileges.The Server view contains several subviews to monitor, configure, and analyze the MySQL server’s status and behavior. The Query view is for executing one or more “hand-written” SQL queries, and viewing the results of those queries. For instance, you would use the Content view to view the data in a table, and you would use the Structure view to add or remove columns from that table. The Content and Structure views allow you to view the content of or edit the structure of databases, tables, views, functions, procedures, events, and triggers. The “Connection Window” in Querious has four main views which can be selected in the window’s toolbar.
