Setting Global SQL Settings

Studio's global SQL settings are configured from the SQL tab of Preferences.

There are three ways to open the SQL tab:

Via the Tools menu: Tools | Preferences | SQL  

Right-clicking on a server in the SQL tree and select Global Settings

Right-clicking on an element in the Query Editor and select Global Settings

The configurable settings in the SQL tab can be understood as follows:

Use SQL 'LIMIT' when Possible - LIMIT defines range of results returned by a query. Default=Enabled

Note: Limit is restricted by Paging Size and paging location. Furthermore, LIMIT is not supported in all SQL servers; SQL Lite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL support LIMIT.  

Open Every Result in a New Tab - Determines how results are displayed. If enabled each query result is shown in a separate tab.  

Maximum Entries in Results Table - Maximum number of rows in a single page of results. Default= 100

Note:
Limit is restricted by Paging Size and paging location. Furthermore, LIMIT is not supported in all SQL servers; SQL Lite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL support LIMIT.
