Color coding with a visual SQL editor

This feature greatly enhances code readability and coding efficiency.

Simple outlining via SQL Editor

MySQL Code Editor can make the tough task of navigating through sections of code much easier by allowing you to collapse a region of code. The collapsed section appears under a plus sign (+). You can then expand it by clicking this plus sign.

The contents of the collapsed section is displayed as a tooltip when you hover over it. It is also possible to stop outlining in the Code Editor if necessary.

Outlining facilitates the work with large chunks of code. You can expand the regions you want to make changes to, collapse them when you are done, and then switch to other regions.

Document Outline window

The Document Outline window exposes a hierarchical view of query parts and thus provides quick and easy navigation through them. It can be used while building large queries to access all its elements and capture the exact logical structure of a query.

The Document Window is really useful when you need to visualize the structure of a large SQL Document.

MySQL Query History

MySQL Query History displays basic information about the executed SQL statements for a certain period of time. The feature allows viewing, editing, and reusing the queries that were executed in the past. It can be precious when you need to recover certain scripts or analyze your actions on a specific database.

This option can be configured up to your needs. You can specify a period over which the query history will be stored, the maximum size of stored scripts, a folder to store the history, etc.
