Given that we have to lock down our database so that people can't accidentally edit it, I've recently been made aware that our users are unable to copy any of the data OUT of the database easily.
Ignoring the fact that there's no API to get the data out of a database, when you make a database read only to users if you select a cell and CTRL+C to copy the value, then paste it into notepad nothing appears... but if you paste it into word/excel it works... and gets surrounded by a table.
This is obviously because the copy function is being "enhanced" to support the table structure, but it's a bit of a pain when you just want a single value from the database.
It would be nice if either:
- When copying the value from a single cell it automatically just copied the cells contents
- OR when right clicking on a cell users had the option to "copy value"
