Worksheets

The worksheet is a document that stores SQL queries. These worksheets are organized in folders, and the system automatically creates a default Draft folder. In this folder, you'll find worksheets with helpful SQL query hints to make writing queries easier.

You can create custom folders for better organization. Folders can be deleted, renamed, and modified, except for the system-generated 'Draft' folder, which remains fixed. Within folders, you have the flexibility to create, duplicate, delete, rename, and move worksheets.

Write query

As you enter your script in the query editor, the autocomplete feature suggests:

  • Query syntax keywords such as SQL functions or aliases.
  • Values that match table or column names within a schema.

IOMETE tracks table aliases and suggests them as autocomplete options. For example, if you execute a query using employees as e or employees e as an alias, the next time you type e, the autocomplete feature suggests the alias as an option.
