Working with Database Consoles
Database consoles are SQL files in which you can compose and execute SQL statements. Unlike scratch files, consoles are attached to a data source. When you create a data source, a database console is created automatically. If necessary, you can create additional consoles.

Managing database consoles
To manage your database consoles, use the Scratches and Consoles directory of the Project tool window.
To open the list of consoles, select Scratches from the list in the left-hand part of the title bar.
The directory contains the existing database consoles (represented by SQL files) grouped by your data sources (shown as folders). The default consoles (the ones that were created by GoLand automatically) have the same names as the corresponding data sources.
You can:

Select from the main menu.
Select from the context menu
Press Alt+Insert and select Console File.

MySQL_1. If you want to give a console a more descriptive name, select the console and do one of the following:Select from the main or the context menu.
PressShift+F6.
Then, specify a new name in the dialog that opens.
