Run/Debug Configuration for database scripts

Item

Description

Target data source / schema

Specify databases or schemas against which you want to run your database scripts. This setting is dialect-dependent.

If you select a data source as a target, DataGrip displays a schema in which the script will be run. It is the default schema.

To add a data source, click the Add button (The Add button).

Script text

Type your script that you want to run against the specified target (for example, SELECT * FROM actor).

Script files

Select files with scripts that you want to run (for example, an SQL file). To add files, click the Add button (the Add button) and navigate to files that you want to run. If a script contains schema switching, you will see a warning (Warning).

Common settings

When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:

Item

Description

Name

Specify a name for the run configuration to quickly identify it among others when editing or running.

Allow multiple instances

Allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel.

By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, DataGrip suggests stopping the running instance and starting another one. This is helpful when a run configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances.

Store as project file

Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project.

By default, it is disabled, and DataGrip stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

Toolbar

The tree view of run/debug configurations has a toolbar that helps you manage configurations available in your database as well as adjust default configurations templates.

the Remove button

AltDelete

Delete the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you cannot delete default configurations.

Copy

Ctrl0D

Save configuration

The button is displayed only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent.

Move into new folder / Create new folder

Move into new folder / Create new folder. You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders.

To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click Folder, and specify the folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created.

Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag or Move Up and Move Down buttons.

To remove grouping, select a folder and click Remove Configuration.

Sort configurations

Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order.

In this area, you can specify tasks to be performed before starting the selected run/debug configuration. The tasks are performed in the order they appear in the list.
