A table opened from the object tree shows one page of rows, 1,000 by default. Edit its cells, add and delete rows, and save the changes together.

Pending changes stay marked until Save

Edit rows

Editing works in a table tab on a table with a primary key, on a connection whose Safe Mode is not Read only. A saved row’s key, and every column the server fills, stay as they are. A value with a line break edits on several lines, and Ctrl+Enter keeps it. Right-click a cell and open Set value for Empty, NULL or Default, each where the column takes it. A duplicate starts its key, and every column the server fills, the way a new row does. Right-click a row marked for deletion and choose Undo delete to keep it. An edited cell is underlined on a yellow fill, a new row on green, and a row marked for deletion is struck through on red. Typing a cell back to its stored value drops the edit.

Save or discard

Save changes (Ctrl+S) writes every change in one batch and reloads the page. Preview SQL (Ctrl+Shift+P) shows the statements first, each with the values it sends. Discard changes drops them all after asking.
  • A save that deletes rows asks first.
  • With Safe Mode set to Confirm writes, the save shows its statements and runs after Execute.
  • A save the server refuses writes nothing and keeps every change pending, with the row it stopped at selected.
  • Sorting, paging or refreshing asks before it discards pending changes. Closing the tab, disconnecting or quitting offers to save them.
