Description

Execute SQL

Executes SQL statements.

SQL operations are performed on tables and views in a database.

Format SQL

Improves readability of SQL statements. Formatting SQL statements enables statements to be displayed in line break mode, but does not change their logics and semantics.

SQL formatting takes effect for all the SQL statements in the SQL window. You cannot format only one selected statement.

Executing SQL Plan

Reports execution of SQL statements to make troubleshooting easy and optimize SQL processing performance.

SQL Favorites

Allows you to add, view, and manage frequently-used SQL statements.

Save Executed SQL Statements

Saves the recently executed SQL statements to the server.

SQL Input Prompt

Helps you quickly enter a specific database, table, or field name when you enter a SQL statement in the SQL window.

Full Screen

Shows SQL statements on a full screen.

Show Executed SQL Statements

Shows SQL execution details.

Messages

Shows the information returned after a SQL statement is executed.

Result Set

Shows SQL execution results.

Allows you to view details about a single row, add a row, submit for editing, delete a row, export a row, copy a row, copy a column, set a column, and more.

Overwrite/Append Mode
  • Append Mode: Each time a SQL statement is executed, the new result set is appended to the previous one.
  • Overwrite Mode: Each time a SQL statement is executed, the new result set overwrites the previous one.
