SQL

The SQL Editor in Gaio DataOS allows users to write, run, and test custom SQL queries directly on tables within the selected project bucket. It's a powerful tool for advanced users who prefer full control over data manipulation using SQL.


How to Use the SQL Editor


1. Access the SQL Editor

  • In the Studio, open the left-side panel under Tasks.

  • Select the SQL option to open the code editor.


2. Select the Bucket

  • At the top left, select the bucket that contains the tables you want to query.

  • All available tables in that bucket will be listed below for reference.


3. Write Your SQL Query

  • In the central editor area, type your SQL query. Example:

    SELECT * FROM sales;
  • The editor supports syntax highlighting for better readability and clarity.


4. Run the Query

  • Click Run query to execute your SQL.

  • The result will appear in a preview panel below the code.

You can paginate the result using the row limit control on the top right (1,000 by default).


5. Save Your Query

  • Click Save to store the SQL block as a reusable task or part of a data flow.

  • Test queries with limited row counts before running on full datasets.
