Saved Queries

Zequel lets you save frequently used queries as bookmarks so you can access them quickly without rewriting them each time.

Saving a Query

To save the current query:

1. Write your query in the editor.
2. Press Cmd+S (macOS) or Ctrl+S (Windows/Linux), or click the Save icon in the editor toolbar.
3. In the Save Query dialog, enter a name for the query (required) and an optional description to help you identify it later.
4. Click Save.

The query is stored locally and associated with the active connection's database type, so it appears in context when you are working with the same kind of database.

Accessing Saved Queries

Saved queries are listed in the Saved Queries section of the sidebar. Click any saved query to load it into a new editor tab, ready to run.

You can also search through your saved queries by typing in the filter field at the top of the sidebar section.

Editing a Saved Query

To update a saved query:

1. Right-click the query in the sidebar and select Edit.
2. Modify the name, description, or SQL content in the dialog that appears.
3. Click Save to apply your changes.

Alternatively, after loading a saved query into the editor and making changes, save it again with the same name to overwrite the previous version.

Deleting a Saved Query

To remove a saved query, right-click it in the sidebar and select Delete. You will be asked to confirm before the query is permanently removed.
