Run files

SQL files are run against the selected databases or schemas using run configurations. Depending on your purposes, you can run SQL files using one of the following ways:

  • Create new run configurations or edit the existing ones via a run configuration widget.

  • Create new run configurations via Files tool window by running the selected file.

  • Create new run configurations via Database Explorer by running a file against the selected database or schema.

In DataGrip, the maximum number of DML statements that you can run from an SQL file is 1000.

For more information about run configurations, refer to Run/debug configurations.

Run an SQL file

  1. Open the Run/Debug Configuration dialog in one of the following ways:

    • Select Run | Edit Configurations from the main menu.

    • With the Navigation bar visible (View | Appearance | Navigation Bar), choose Edit Configurations from the run/debug configuration selector.

    • Press Alt+Shift+F10 and then press 0.

  2. In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, you can either create a new run configuration or edit an existing one.

    • To create a new run configuration, click the Add New Configuration icon (the Add New Configuration icon) and select Database Script.

    • To edit an existing run configuration, expand the Database Script node and select the run configuration that you want to edit from the list.

  3. The fields that appear in the right-hand pane display the settings for the selected configuration type.

    • Target data source / schema: databases or schemas against which you want to run your database scripts. This setting is dialect-dependent.

      If you select a data source as a target, DataGrip displays a schema in which the script will be run. It is the default schema.

    • Script files: SQL files that you want to run. To add files, click the Add button (the Add button) and navigate to files that you want to run. If a script contains schema switching, you will see a warning (Warning).

  4. You can either run the configuration right away or save the configuration to run it later.

    • To save the run configuration for later, click OK.

    • To run the configuration right away, click Run.
