User files

Last modified: 21 June 2023

User files are the files that are stored on your machine or any other place you have access to. In IntelliJ IDEA, they are available to work with in the Project tool window.

Run SQL files

SQL files are run against the selected databases or schemas using run configurations. To run an SQL file, you can either create a new run configuration, or edit an existing one.

For information about how to run an SQL files from your machine, see Run SQL files.

Configure a dialect for SQL files

For better coding assistance, assign an SQL dialect to an SQL file. An SQL dialect is a DBMS-specific version of SQL.

  1. Click the dialect list, which is in the upper-right corner of the window.

  2. Select a dialect from the dialect list.
