Please allow us to cancel loading of log in SQL Server Management Studio Log Viewer
The log viewer in management studio is really neat, however if you have large log files or are accessing a remote server over a slow connection it can take a long time to load the log records.
Generally you only need the last x records, so you don’t need to load all the records.
It would be great to have a cancel button to allow us to cancel the loading of the log records in SQL Server Management Studio.
As an aside one of the best features in SQL 2005 was the ability to cancel your connection attempt when starting a new connection in Management Studio. In SQL 2000 Query analyser and Enterprise Manager you had to wait 30 seconds if you put in the wrong password or server name. From SQL2005 onwards you can click cancel straight away.
If you agree it would be useful to cancel the loading of log records then please vote
