In the original DB-pro, when I would look up a command to see what it does, I would also be offered 2 choices....

View usage example,

View Showcase Example.

So, could you put it back into the DB-pro help section? It used to help me alot.

It's fun to Create.

I think I know what you are talking about.

The examples themselves may need to be sorted out in some cases as I recall not being able to get some examples to run properly in the new editor (copy and paste), but doing it under the old default editor sometimes they would compile (other times there would be errors about a variable or something else).

I think many of them may just be broken because of deprecated code and other changes.

I found them useful at times. In fact, once I was only able to figure out a workaround for an error in one of the commands itself by studying the example.
