Schema-aware completion and hover

As you type, the editor suggests tables and columns from the connected database, along with SQL keywords. Hover a name to see its type and details. This is driven by a live schema index that refreshes as your database changes, so suggestions stay accurate.

For predictive, whole-clause suggestions on top of this, see AI auto-completion.

Workspaces

A workspace is a folder of .sql scripts on disk (similar to DBeaver). SnoutData can list, create, rename, and open scripts from it, and search across them by file name and content. Saving an untitled tab can auto-name it into the current workspace.

Command palette

Press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P to run any command by name, including switching connections, opening files, and toggling panels.
