Her statement, posted on the @BabyBoycs account, read: "The surgeon says the operation was a success and has now allowed him home to recover from the invasive surgery.


"This will take some time so he will not be commentating at the start of the England v India Test match series but hopes to be back at work for the 3rd Test match at Nottingham."



Boycott, nicknamed 'Fiery', played 108 Tests for England between 1964 and 1982, scoring 8,114 runs at an average of 47.72, while notching up 22 centuries.


Responding to a post from a well-wisher, Boycott said he was "resting", with his daughter Emma typing the replies on his behalf.

Michael Vaughan was among those to wish Boycott a quick recovery

A message on the official BBC Test Match Special Twitter account read: "We wish @GeoffreyBoycott a speedy recovery & look forward to welcoming you back into the @bbctms box soon."


BBC colleague Michael Vaughan, also a former England and Yorkshire skipper wrote on Twitter: "Digin Geoffrey... we'll miss you lots."



Pal and fellow BBC TMS presenter Jonathan Agnew added: "I went to visit the old so and so this morning and can confirm that he’s in rude health and will probably outlive all of us."


"My sympathy lies with Rachael, who has to nurse him! (Great to see you looking so well, Fiery. Treat this convalescence like one of your innings....SLOW x)."


Boycott quipped to one post from a well-wisher that Agnew had the cheek "take the mickey" when he dropped by to pay him a visit.


Piers Morgan tweeted: "Speedy recovery Sir Geoffrey."

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
