Data Editor and Viewer
Overview
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.
In RubyMine, the data editor and viewer lets you work with database object data and a query results set.
The database object data in a Table view.
For more information about Database tool window, refer to Database tool window.
The query result set in a Table view.
For more information about a Result tab of a Services tool window, refer to Result tabs.
The query result set in a Table view.
For more information about In-Editor Results, refer to In-Editor Results.
The default view mode is Table. In this mode, you can filter and sort data, edit value of the cells directly, and work with rows of the data table.
Open database object data
To open database object data in data editor, in the Database tool window, do one of the following:
Double-click a database object.
Select a database object and press F4.
Select a database object and click the Edit Data icon () on the toolbar.
Right-click an object and select Edit Data.
View query results set
To view a query results set in data editor, in a query console, do one of the following:
Run an SQL query. The data editor opens in a Result tab of the Services tool window.
Click the In-Editor Results button () on the toolbar and run a query. The data editor opens in the query console in-editor results pane.
For more information about a Result tab of a Services tool window, refer to Result tabs.
For more information about In-Editor Results, refer to In-Editor Results.
Work with data
View data
You can browse and edit data in three modes: Table, Tree, Text, and Transpose. In the Table mode, you can also transpose the view. Use the value editor to view and edit contents of a separate cell.
For full information on data view modes and other features, refer to View data.
Compare data
Compare the data of two database objects. For the comparison, you can define how many columns should differ to consider two columns equal. You can also select to ignore the extra column in either one of the objects.
For full information, refer to Compare the data of database objects.
Sort data
You can sort data by clicking a column's header, or by entering a sorting query into the corresponding field. By default, each time you sort data, RubyMine sends a new ORDER BY
query to the database. You can also change the setting and sort data on the client side.
For full information, refer to Sort data.
Filter data
Use one of the following ways to filter data:
Specify filtering conditions.
Run a search on the table.
Enter a filtering query into the corresponding field.
For full information, refer to Filter data.
Export data
RubyMine uses data extractors to export data in various formats to a file or the clipboard. Each time you export or copy data, the copied data format is defined by the selected data extractor.
You can use a built-in data extractor, configure a custom extractor that is based on CSV or DSV format, and create a custom data extractor using a provided API.
The last selected extractor becomes the default one for newly opened editor tabs. For MongoDB, the default extractor is always JSON.
For more information about data extractors, refer to the corresponding page.
For more information on how to export data in RubyMine, refer to Export data.
Rows
Manipulate the rows by adding, deleting, cloning them, and so on. You can also navigate between related rows, between subsets of rows, or go to a specified row.
For full information on these and oter features, refer to Rows.
Reference
Most of the available functions are accessed by means of controls on the toolbar, context menu commands for the data cells, and associated keyboard shortcuts.
