Hi Chanaka,
you probably meant checkboxes instead of radio buttons, so
that a user
can choose a combination of export sections.
I think that these should be placed under "object creation
options" and
"data creation options". Note that
you'll need more checkboxes
than you

added two elements to the custom export form.
1. The radio button 'only view/trigger/SP' to the 'Format-specific
options'
2. The check box 'Add CREATE VIEW statement
to the 'Object
creation options'

This will
make as a different feature request.
After item 2 is implemented, user can do export with/without
view/sp/trigger. But always export will include at least database
structure.
So item 1 will provide an option to not to include database
structure to
the export. With this option we can hide some
options like '|CREATE
TABLE| options' in 'Object creation options' section which we
don't need.
What do you think on this ?

Hi Chanaka,
In our current form, we have clear choices: structure, data,
structure
and data (could be improved with just two
checkboxes, one for
structure
and one for data, but this is another
subject).
What I find confusing is that you are adding near these choices,
another
choice which is (I think) a subset of the
structure.
I would classify a trigger as being part of the structure (it's more
related to structure that to data, right?)
Hi Marc,
Yes I agree to your point. In that case, the only problem we have is,
there is no way to ignore table structure of the database, if we chose
'structure' or 'structure and data'. For that we should have an option
like 'Ignore table structure' under 'Object creation options'. What do
you think ?
I believe it would be clearer if we express every option in a positive
way. So, a checkbox for all elements on which we can choose, the table
structure being one of them. Plus a default value for all these
checkboxes, based on the expected need of the majority of users.
Then shall we simply add 'Add CREATE TABLE statement' option to the Object
creation options, which is checked by default ?
I think this would be the simplest solution with our custom form.
