New to SQL

Post by Reddrgn2 »

Product, version and build:
64 bit - PrimalSQL -2020- version 4.5.71
Operating system:
64 bit os - win 10 ent

I am pretty new to SQL things. Not sure it will be my cup of tea. Developer left and left me holding bag.

I know some pretty basic things, on the actual sql server/DB. I know how to run quary on few things by right clicking on table and selecting top 1000 rows (which works for me cause there is only 300 items) then I know I can select Edit top 200 rows, again works for me. Right now I don't really need to know the actual commands to (script to me) get the search and editing. I know a few other basic things. Thats the back ground.

I am able to run the query on the DB with PrimalSQL - i drop the table to query in and select the fields that I like to get results.

Question - with PrimalSQL - how do you edit rows? (like you would on the actual sql server with 'edit top 200 rows')

You should be able to edit the results directly. Please make sure your results are not set to ready only. You can check this by ensuring the toggle 'Read Only Results' is off on the ribbon (Home -> Query):

You should then be able to edit the results by double clicking the row value you would like to edit.
