Program settings and options

The program has some settings and options aided to make your work more comfortable. Don't forget to press "Save" button in "Settings" dialog to save the settings you chose.

The most important settings are:

  1. "Disable SQL parsing" option allows you to deal with the complex language constructs and non-standard SQL extensions. In some cases, the program cannot parse script correctly and then this option is necessary.
  2. Autosaving the file you are editing. Set this option to make the program save the file currently being edited at specified time intervals. It could help you to restore data in case of accidental crash (power failure, for example.) The auto save interval is 3 minutes by default, but you may change it at your will.
  3. Preview binary large objects (BLOBs) as text (in hexadecimal mode by default).
  4. Erasing the semicolon (';') separator at the end of SQL statement. This feature makes the exchange of scripts with programs like Oracle SQL*Plus more easy and convenient.
  5. "View NULLS as <NULL>" option allows selecting of the visualization mode for NULL values between displaying the special sign <NULL> and just emptying the cell.
  6. You can turn the syntax highlighting for keywords, comments and strings (constants) on and off.
  7. Change the size and the font face for SQL editor as well as "Tab" size.
