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.

Create a database console

To create a console, use one of the following actions in the Database tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database).

  • Click a data source and select File | New | Console.

  • Right-click a data source and select New | Console.

  • Click a data source, press Alt+Insert, and select Console.

  • Click a data source, press Ctrl+Shift+F10, and select New console.

Open a console

  • In the Project tool window (View | Tool Windows | Project), navigate to Scratches and Consoles | Database Consoles | <data_source_name>, double-click a console file.
