note

You can run individual statements only for one data source at a time.

note

The statements can contain parameters. Before you run these statements, specify values of these parameters.

Run individual statements

  1. Open an SQL file in IntelliJ IDEA.

  2. Click the statement that you want to execute. If you want to execute more than one statement, select (highlight) the necessary statements.

note

Limitation for the SQL file size is 20 MB. When you open a file that is larger than 20 MB, you see only the first 2.5 MB of the file.

tip

In the console menu, you can associate a different console with the file, or remove the association between the file and the console (Detach Console ). Otherwise, you can associate a console with a file by selecting Attach Console from the context menu of the file.

Configuring a dialect for SQL files

For better coding assistance, assign an SQL dialect to an SQL file. An SQL dialect is a DBMS-specific version of SQL.

IntelliJ IDEA lets you specify the SQL dialect for an individual file or all SQL and DDL files that can be stored in a directory, in your project, or on your computer.

Specify a dialect for a single SQL file

  1. Click the dialect list, which is in the upper-right corner of the window.

  2. Select a dialect from the dialect list.

    Specify an SQL dialect

Specify a dialect for multiple SQL files

  1. Open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S and navigate to Languages & Frameworks | SQL Dialects.

  2. Click the Add button the Add button and select directories or files for which you want to change a dialect.

  3. Click Open.

  4. Click the SQL Dialect cell and select the necessary dialect.

  5. Apply changes and click OK.
