Saving and loading SQL scripts¶

You can save the SQL you write to a file and reload it later, so useful scripts are always available.

Saving a script¶

Choose SQL → Save SQL Script from the main menu (or Save SQL Script from the SQL window's pop-up menu), then choose a file name.

Loading a script¶

Choose SQL → Open SQL Script (or Open SQL Script from the SQL window's pop-up menu) and select the file. Its contents are loaded into the SQL window.

To reopen something you used recently, choose SQL → Open Recent SQL Script and pick from the list of the ten most recent files.

Tip

You can also load a script by dragging a .sql file from Windows Explorer straight onto the SQL window.
