    Overview

    All queries that have been run in SQL Editor will appear in the Query History screen.

    From there, you have access to a variety of features that enable you to manage and work with historical queries, such as:

    • Filter and search queries
    • View at-a-glance query details, such as time executed, database, schema, tables, user, rows, and schema code
    • Launch any historical query in the SQL Editor

    Let's look at historical queries in more detail below.

    In the Toolbar, select SQL Lab and, in the drop-down menu, select Query History.

    Query Search and Filters

    There are a number of filters, as well as a keyword search feature, available along the horizontal bar above the content panel.

    These include:

    • Database: This field will be populated by all databases used in the list of queries. Simply select a database to filter by queries that are associated with your selection.
    • State: Filter by all queries, succesful queries, or failed queries.
    • User: Filter by the user who created a query.
    • Time range: Define a starting & ending date & time range and queries that ran within that span will be displayed.
    • Search: Enter a search term, select the magnifying glass icon, and queries that meet your search criteria will appear.

    View SQL Code

    To view the underlying SQL code for a query, select the text field under the SQL column header:

    Query_History_View_SQL_Code

    The Query preview panel appears.

    Query_History_Query_Preview_Panel

    This panel displays the underlying SQL code for the query. By default, the query as defined by the user (User query tab) is displayed — to view the executed query, select the Executed query tab.

    To copy the SQL code to your system's clipboard, hover your cursor over the code and then select the copy icon.

    Query_History_Copy_Icon

    To scroll through query search results, select Previous or Next as needed.

    To view the currently displayed SQL query in the SQL Editor, select Open in SQL Lab.
