To make a query, you need to specify what database to query. This menu is where you make that selection. Some databases do not allow dynamic selection of what database you are working with--when connected to one of these databases, this menu will not appear.
Query field


This field contains the query that will be sent to the server. The field allows you to copy/paste and drag & drop text. You can also scroll through the query history of past queries you have made.

Pressing this button will send the query in the Query Field to the database server. You can also press the Enter key while typing in the Query Field to submit the query.
