JUSTIN THOMAS is braced for “three days of hatred” when he makes his Ryder Cup debut in September.


And the American world No 2 expects the animosity from Europe’s players to be just as powerful as from fans at Le Golf National near Paris.

Justin Thomas is preparing himself for 'three days of hatred' at the Ryder Cup in September

Thomas, 25, is enjoying an early glimpse of the Ryder Cup course at the French Open.


After shooting a battling one- under-par 70 in tough conditions, he said: “The reception I’ve had from fans so far has been very welcoming and that could be because people appreciate that I had come over from the US.



“I expect it will be a bit different in September!


“Obviously I have never played a Ryder Cup so it is a little difficult to say what the atmosphere should be. You could say it is a three-day hatred, or even a week-long thing.

“The Americans have a lot of great relationships with players on the European team.


“But I know for the duration of that tournament they will hate me and that is just how it is.



“It is nothing personal. It’s just we take a lot of pride in our country and what we’re doing.


“The fans need to be respectful but there is nothing wrong with being passionate. We only get one every two years so may as well make it count.”


Thomas’ comments will raise plenty of eyebrows on both sides of the Atlantic, especially after Paul Casey was blasted for similar remarks in 2004.


But he could not have been more complimentary about European supporters when the Ryder Cup is not on the line.

He added: “I love the fans in Europe. They are so respectful and really appreciate good shots.


“It’s not that the fans in the States don’t, but it’s so much fun going to The Open and hitting a 7-iron or 8-iron to 30 or 40ft and they know it’s a great shot.


“I felt a very similar vibe here. My time here has been so enjoyable thus far. It’s definitely had a welcoming feeling.”


Thomas is just three shots adrift of the early pace-setter, Welshman Bradley Dredge.


But defending champion Tommy Fleetwood found it tough going in a three-over-par 74.

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...
