Online SQL Editor: A Way to Manage Your DataPosted by Mike Shah on February 16th, 2016 Structure Query Language or SQL is the specialized programming language used for streaming information in relational databases. It is an editing system's job to define and control data for languages, which is why online SQL editors consist of platforms that are based on efficient data manipulation, insertion, and access so that unauthorized users cannot add or remove data to the existing database. There are all types of online SQL editors out in the market, but the best ones offer advanced features that allow you to build, edit, and run online queries using a feature-rich and highly intuitive interface. With a robust platform, you can efficiently manage your SQL databases and ensure absolute control of all aspects of your programming. When you are in the market for an Online SQL Editor, make sure that you find one that is specifically developed to streamline and simplify database analysis, thus helping boost your productivity. Many SQL editors in the market will promise you all great things, but few will deliver intuitive processes and rich features. Choose a platform that is completely online-based and designed to ensure powerful, efficient, yet simplified database analysis that is easy to use even for someone who is not an IT expert. Look for an SQL editor that allows you to execute SQL queries efficiently. A good SQL editor should allow you to run basic statements such as SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE as well as cancel long-running queries. Choose a platform with multiple window capabilities so you can maximize productivity. Well-designed editing platforms also allow you to execute multiple queries and display results and progress for each statement, even when it has detected an error within a particular query. Other features you should look for include SQL Server Execution plans, which can be helpful in troubleshooting query performance issues; an online SQL formatters, which helps format queries and statements in a way that they can be displayed beautifully and with color syntax highlights; and an SQL history viewer, which can help you keep track of your user history. There are many other features that will prove useful for your online SQL editing requirements, such as uploading and downloading of SQL from an existing file system; uploading and running SQL in the background; exporting results; and building charts and data grids. Advanced features like sorting grid data and grouping can also help streamline editing and increase overall productivity.
