Change SQL window quit warning dialog buttons

When closing an SQL window, the warning prompts are inconsistent and confusing.

  1. All results currently open will be closed. Do you want to continue? Yes/No

  2. Save changes to Untitled? Yes/No/Cancel

On the first question, No abandons the close action. On the second question, No does not abandon the close action.

To close a window, throwing everything away (a common requirement) requires Yes, then No. However, if no results are displayed, then it requires just a No. This means the user must stop and carefully read the message to decide which button to click, every time.

Best practice is to use active verbs on buttons to make it immediately clear what will occur, and the text becomes only a supporting function.

I would like to suggest these buttons be changed as follows:

  1. Close/Cancel

  2. Save/Discard/Cancel

    Preferences have been added to Run SQL Scripts to avoid being prompted to close results on the Preferences Results tab, and to perform an AutoSave on the Preferences General tab.
