For * references: show names of columns for asterisk (*) references in SELECT statements that have context that sets column names For example, SELECT statements inside CREATE VIEW and INSERT. Works only in query consoles, not as a language injection.
For set operations (UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT): show names of columns in SELECT statements when they are used in set operations like UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT. Works only in query consoles, not as a language injection.
JOIN cardinality
Display the numerical relationship between rows of one table and rows in the other. Common cardinalities include one-to-one (1<->1
), one-to-many (1<->1..n
), many-to-many(1..n<->1..n
), and optional (0..n
). The optional cardinality appears when the referring field is nullable.
You can configure inlay hints for the following types of JOIN:
INNER JOIN
