DataGrip 2026.3 Help

Database Output tool window

The Database Output tool window displays execution output, query results, and query execution plans. You can use it to switch between results from query consoles and SQL files, view the queries that produced them, and open result sets in separate editor tabs.

The tool window opens automatically when you run a query, a database run configuration, an SQL file, or generate a query execution plan. By default, it opens at the bottom of the IDE.

To show or hide the tool window, click More tool windows on the toolbar in the window header and select Database Output. For more information about moving and arranging tool windows, refer to Tool windows.

Database Output tool window

DataGrip can also display query results in the Services tool window. To switch to this tool window, press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and select Database | Query Execution | Output and Results. In Show results in, select Services tool window.

Session management is available in the Services tool window.

Contents overview

The tool window contains the following elements:

  2. Result tab.

  3. Query Plan tab.

  4. Session client dropdown.

By default, the contents of the tool window follow the active editor tab, showing the corresponding output, query results, and query plan. When you switch to a query console that has no results, the tool window displays its Output tab. Running a query automatically selects the relevant result tab.

  • To open session details for the selected query console or file, open the sessions dropdown on the right side of the toolbar and select Manage Sessions.

DataGrip opens the corresponding session details in the Services tool window.

For more information about managing sessions and attaching clients to them, refer to Sessions.

Data from the expanded children node is distributed between key and value columns. You might consider using this mode to work with JSON and array data.

  • Text: viewing mode in which data is displayed as a text. This mode uses data extractors to represent the data. For example, if the CSV data extractor is selected in the Data extractors list on the toolbar, the database object data is displayed in the CSV format.
