Quick Query

A mini SQL editor embedded in the sidebar for running quick, one-off queries without opening a full tab.

It exists for the queries you don’t want to think about: a COUNT(*) to sanity-check a table, a fast lookup of one row, a SHOW to confirm a setting. Opening a full editor tab for those is overkill and clutters your workspace — Quick Query keeps them out of the way while you’re really working on something else in the main tabs.

Using Quick Query

1. Find the Quick Query panel in the sidebar (below the schema tree)
2. Type a short SQL query
3. Press Cmd+Enter to execute
4. Results appear inline below the editor

Recent Queries

The panel shows your 3 most recent successful queries as clickable chips. Tap one to re-run it instantly — handy when you’re repeatedly checking the same count as you work.

Hiding Quick Query

If you prefer a cleaner sidebar, go to Settings and enable Hide quick query panel.

Example: a throwaway sanity check

Mid-way through building a bigger query in a main tab, you want to confirm a table isn’t empty. Instead of switching tabs, drop into the sidebar panel:

SELECT count(*) FROM organizations;

Cmd+Enter, read the number inline, and carry on — your real editor tab is untouched, and the query lands in the recent-chips list if you need it again.
