Re: NB 6.0 desktop DB GUI wizard bugs?

Comments inline, but please use nbusers for these type
comments and questions next time.  nbui is used for
the IDEs actual user interface.  Issues like your #3
Wizard option question would be better as an issue at
the URL I give you below and would be marked as
FEATURE...more inline

instead of quoting the names they are probably being
converted to all upppercase where as they should be
something like "TableName"."ColumnName".
