SQL Console

The SQL Console is Trilium's built-in database editor.

It can be accessed by going to the global menu → Advanced → Open SQL Console.

Interaction

• Hovering the mouse over one of the tables listed at the top of the document will show the columns and their data type.

• Only one SQL statement can be run at once.

• To run the statement, press the icon.

• For queries that return a result, the data will displayed in a table.

  

Saved SQL console

SQL queries or commands can be saved into a dedicated note.

To do so, simply write the query and press the button. Once saved, the note will appear in Day Notes.

• The SQL expression will not be displayed by default, but it can still be viewed by going to the note context menu and selecting Note source.
• The expression cannot be modified. If needed, recreate it by copying the statement back into the SQL console and then saving it again.
