Online SQL Server Editor: Easy Way To Access And Manage Your Database

Using an online SQL server editor will make it easier for you to manage and access your database. The online platform enables you to build, run, and edit SQL queries using a more feature-rich and intuitive interface in real time. With the right SQL editor, you should be able to efficiently manage your database to boost your productivity and minimize your downtime. The following are the features of a good online SQL server editor:

1. Completely based online – The online SQL server editor offers a powerful, efficient, and simple way to manage or access your database, even without IT expertise.
2. Easy to use – You should be able to execute all kinds of SQL queries. Hence, it should be easy to run insert, select, delete, or update statements, or cancel long-running queries. Likewise, a good online server editor is capable of opening multiple editor windows and enables you to open table select statements into it at the click of a mouse or a button. Some of the best online server editors can let you save queries or upload any saved query into them.
3. Allows you to execute multiple statements online – You should be able to run as many Select statements as you want, and the editor will execute them and display the results in multiple tabs. When running multiple update or insert statements, an editor must display the progress for each as it continues to run other statements if an error occurs in a certain statement.
4. Formatter and history viewer – A good online SQL server editor can format queries, customize statements, and show SQL with color syntax highlights. It should be able to help you keep track of your SQL history, too. This way, you can view previous SQL runs, sort history data by query or run time, and select or insert SQL from the history viewer to the editor. Likewise, the editor must show how the query was executed and how it should be executed, with detailed explanations.
5. Download and upload – With an online server editor, you can upload SQL from any local file system and save or download to store it in your computer. Consider using an online SQL editor that lets you upload local SQL files and let it run in the background, a feature that is useful when you need to simultaneously run many queries. This way, you can save time and effort, and be able to easily view the progress.
