DataGrip 2024.3 Help

Query results

Usually, when you run a query, you receive results in a table format. DataGrip displays the results in a data editor. For each statement, the data editor with results appears in a separate tab in the Services tool window. For example, if you run three SELECT statements in the query console, you will see three tabs in the tool window.

The data editor and viewer, or data editor, provides a user interface for working with data. In the data editor, you can sort, filter, add, edit, and remove the data as well as perform other associated tasks. For full information about data editor, refer to the Data editor and viewer topic.

Result tabs

Open a new tab for each new query

By default, DataGrip updates the same tab with results each time you run a new query after the previous one. You can change this behavior and create a tab each time you run a new query.

  1. In the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Database | Query Execution.

  2. Select the Open results in new tab checkbox and click OK.

Use custom titles for tabs with results

You can define a tab title in the comment section before the query. In the Treat text as title after field, you can reserve a combination of symbols or characters after which any text will be treated as a tab title. By default, no combination is used, so any text after -- or /* is treated as a tab title.

  1. Open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S, navigate to Database | Query Execution | Output and Results.

  2. In the Treat text as title after field, define a combination for tab titles.

    To disable this feature, open settings Ctrl+Alt+S, navigate to Database | Query Execution | Output and Results, and clear the Create title for results from comment before query checkbox.

    For more examples of custom titles for tabs, refer to Name the result tabs at youtube.com.

Compare two result sets

  1. Run queries to tables that you want to compare.

  2. In the Services tool window, click the Compare Data button (The Compare with icon), and select the result set that you want to add to diff.

  3. If needed, change a value of the Tolerance parameter in the comparison dialog. The Tolerance parameter defines a maximum number of differences that are allowed between two result sets. For example, if you want to consider two rows as equal if their data differs in a single column, enter 1 in the Tolerance field.

    See another example of comparing two result sets in Compare data at youtube.com.
