Query Editor

Hide Query Editor by Default

When enabled, table preview tabs open with the query editor collapsed. You can still expand it by clicking the editor header.

Default: Off

Use Case: Enable this if you primarily use data-peek for browsing data rather than writing queries.

Quick Query Panel

Hide Quick Query Panel by Default

When enabled, the quick query panel in the sidebar is hidden by default.

Default: Off

Use Case: Hide this if you prefer using the full query editor instead of quick queries.

JSON Display

Expand JSON by Default

When enabled, JSON columns automatically expand in the results viewer.

Default: Off

Use Case: Enable this if you frequently work with JSON data and want to see it expanded immediately.

Database

Query Timeout

Maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a query to complete. Set to 0 for no timeout.

You can cancel a running query by clicking the Cancel button that appears during query execution. This works for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server.
