Query results

Usually, when you run a query, you receive results in a table format. DataGrip displays the results in a data editor. For each statement, the data editor with results appears in a separate tab in the Services tool window. For example, if you run three SELECT statements in the query console, you will see three tabs in the tool window.

The results of the SELECT statements in the tabs of Services tool window

The data editor and viewer, or data editor, provides a user interface for working with data. In the data editor, you can sort, filter, add, edit, and remove the data as well as perform other associated tasks. For full information about data editor, refer to the Data editor and viewer topic.

For more information about query consoles and Services tool window, refer to Query consoles and Services tool window.

Result tabs

Open a new tab for each new query

By default, DataGrip updates the same tab with results each time you run a new query after the previous one. You can change this behavior and create a tab each time you run a new query.

In the IDE settings Control+Alt+S, go to Database | Query Execution.
Select the Open results in new tab checkbox and click OK.

Use custom titles for tabs with results

You can define a tab title in the comment section before the query. In the Treat text as title after field, you can reserve a combination of symbols or characters after which any text will be treated as a tab title. By default, no combination is used, so any text after -- or /* is treated as a tab title.

Open settings by pressing Control+Alt+S, navigate to Database | Query Execution | Output and Results.
In the Treat text as title after field, define a combination for tab titles.
To disable this feature, open settings Control+Alt+S, navigate to Database | Query Execution | Output and Results, and clear the Create title for results from comment before query checkbox.
For more examples of custom titles for tabs, refer to Name the result tabs at youtube.com.

Pin the tab with query results

If one and the same tab is used to show your query results, and you get the result that you want to keep, you can pin the tab to the tool window.

Right-click the tab and select Pin Tab.

In-Editor Results

You can also view the query results within the editor. To do that, use the In-Editor Results feature.

To toggle the In-Editor Results feature for the current file, click the In-Editor Results button () on the toolbar.
To toggle the In-Editor Results feature for all files across the IDE, open settings by pressing Control+Alt+S and navigate to Database | Query Execution | Output and Results | Results. Clear the Show results in editor checkbox.

Result sets

View two result sets in the editor

Click the In-Editor Results button () on the toolbar to view the result sets one above the other.

Edit values in the result set

In the result set, click a cell value that you want to edit.
Specify a new value and press Enter.
To submit changes to a database, click the Submit button () on the toolbar, or press Control+Enter.
For more information about submitting changes to a database, refer to the Submit changes to a database topic.

Compare two result sets

Run queries to tables that you want to compare.
In the Services tool window, click the Compare Data button (), and select the result set that you want to add to diff.
If needed, change a value of the Tolerance parameter in the comparison dialog. The Tolerance parameter defines a maximum number of differences that are allowed between two result sets. For example, if you want to consider two rows as equal if their data differs in a single column, enter 1 in the Tolerance field.
See another example of comparing two result sets in Compare data at youtube.com.

Output tab

View query log

On the Output tab in the Services tool window, you can see a log of user and internal queries.

In the Database Explorer ( View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer) , , open a query console by right-clicking a data source and navigating to New | Query Console.
Alternatively, select a data source and press F4.
Run a query.
In the Services tool window that opens, click the Output tab.

Main functions

Most of the functions in the Result tab are accessed by using controls on the toolbar, context menu commands for the data cells, and associated keyboard shortcuts. You can see what other actions with tables you can perform in Tables.

Toolbar controls

Icon	Action and shortcut	Description
	First Page Previous Page `Control+Alt+ArrowUp` Change page size Next Page `Control+Alt+ArrowDown` Last Page	Use navigation icons and corresponding commands for switching between pages that show the retrieved data and change the page size. A number of rows that you see on the Result tab are referred to as a result set page. If this number is less than the number of rows that satisfy the query, only a subset of all the rows is shown at a time. If all the rows are currently shown, navigation icons and the corresponding commands are inactive. You can see the limit between the navigation buttons. You can change it here by clicking and selecting the necessary limit or in settings. : jump to the first page of results. : go to the previous page of results. : go to the next page of results. : jump to the last page of results. To change the size of a result set page, click the Change page size button and select the size. Alternatively, open settings (`Control+Alt+S`) and navigate to Database \| Data Editor and Viewer. In the Limit page size to field, type a new size of a result set page. Alternatively, to disable the page size restriction, clear the Limit page size to checkbox.

Skip Generated Columns: for INSERT and UPDATE statements, do not include auto-increment fields when copying or saving data. Configure CSV Formats: open the CSV Formats dialog where you can manage your delimiter-separated values formats (for example, CSV, TSV).
