The Database Client is an incredible tool that helps developers manage various databases seamlessly from Visual Studio Code. This guide will walk you through using this tool, troubleshooting common issues, and ensuring your database operations are smooth and efficient.

Installation

To get started, you can easily install the Database Client from the Visual Studio Code marketplace. Simply navigate to the following link to download it:

• Install Database Client

Connecting to a Database

Once the Database Client is installed, follow these steps to connect:

1. Open the Database Explorer panel and click the “+” button.
2. Select your database type, input the required connection configurations, and click the connect button.

You can create two panels for viewing both SQL and NoSQL data simultaneously. Drag the panel around using long-pressing for your convenience.

Working with Tables

To open a table view:

1. Click on the table you wish to open.
2. Click the button next to the table to create a new view.
3. Perform your data modifications within this view.

Executing SQL Queries

To execute SQL queries, do the following:

1. In the Database Explorer panel, click the “Open Query” button.

This opens a SQL editor where you can take advantage of features like:

• IntelliSense SQL editing
• Code snippets like seldelinsupdjoi...
• Running selected SQL queries using Ctrl + Enter
• Running all SQL queries with Ctrl + Shift + Enter

**Note:** Ensure that your SQL queries do not have duplicate column names as this might lead to incomplete results due to how Node.js handles duplicate attributes.

Additional Features

The Database Client comes packed with features to enhance productivity:

• Cache: Data is cached for performance. If any changes occur externally, remember to refresh the cache by clicking the refresh button.
• Backup and Import: Right-click on any DatabaseNode or TableNode to see export/import options. You can enable mysql_dump or pg_dump for backup.
• Settings: Default settings are optimized for the best experience, so you typically won’t need to modify them.
• Filters: Quickly filter tables with an input box, though VSCode has limitations to this functionality.
• Generate Mock Data: Easily create test data for your databases.
• History: Access your previously executed query history with the history button.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while using the Database Client, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that you have the correct permissions to access the database.
• Check the configuration settings in the connection setup.
• If you notice performance lags, consider refreshing the cache regularly.
• For complex data queries, running smaller batches can sometimes alleviate performance issues.
