Query Editor

The Query Editor gives you full SQL access to your database through a rich editing experience.

Monaco Editor

SQL Studio uses the Monaco Editor (the same editor that powers VS Code) for SQL editing. You get:

• Syntax highlighting — SQL keywords, strings, numbers, and comments are highlighted
• IntelliSense — auto-complete suggestions for table names and column names, powered by your database's actual schema
• Multi-line editing — write complex queries with full editor support

Executing Queries

• Write your SQL query in the editor
• Click the Run button or use the keyboard shortcut to execute
• Results appear in a data grid below the editor

Auto-Execute

Toggle the auto-execute option to automatically run your query as you type. This is useful for iterating quickly on simple queries.

Query Timeout

Queries are subject to the configured timeout (default: 5 seconds). If a query takes longer, it will be cancelled. You can increase the timeout with the --timeout CLI option:

sql-studio --timeout 30secs sqlite ./my.db

Results Grid

Query results are displayed in a tabular grid showing:

• Column headers — the column names from your result set
• Row data — each row of the result
• Multi-line output — results with multi-line content are displayed correctly
