ERD Feature: Undo the deletion of a table in an ERD that hasn't been synced yet

[halimkun]

I deleted a table in the ERD Feature DBX, but I haven’t synced it yet, and I want to "undo" it. How do I do that? Because I don’t see that feature, and there isn’t even a “reset” option for this.

Does anyone know how to do this, or am I just not sure where to find the feature?

you've caught it before syncing, so i'd try the undo shortcut first. click an empty part of the canvas, then press cmd+z/ctrl+z

v0.6.51's source connects that shortcut to diagram undo and saves history before deleting a table. keep the diagram open and avoid refreshing or resetting while you have unsynced changes

if nothing happens, which dbx version are you using? that would help check whether your build supports this

Well, the problem is that I was confused, so I closed the app and reopened it.

I’m using the following version:

DBX Version: v0.6.51
Runtime: Desktop
Operating System: Windows 11 (10.0.26200.9711)
Architecture: x86_64
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/155.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/155.0.0.0
Database Types: postgres
Local Driver Versions: mongodb 0.1.88

ah, reopening changes things. v0.6.51's source keeps the undo history in memory, so Ctrl+Z can't undo a deletion from before the restart

was it a table you'd just created in the diagram, or one that already existed in postgres? the deletion code removes a new draft from the saved drafts, but records a pending deletion for an existing table. i'd leave sync alone while we check that, because executing it could drop the existing database table
