Recently a new joiner at our company asked me this. Where are SQL commands executed?<\/p>\n
I said, as a programmer or database administrator, you’ll need a SQL editor to manage and edit databases for your applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n A good SQL editor is usually required to run SQL queries for all sorts of functions such as adding and editing data, adding and dropping tables, etc.<\/p>\n Each database usually has its own set of client-based SQL editor tools which allows a client machine to connect to the database server to perform database administration work.<\/p>\n All you need in order to log into the database\u00a0is the correct credentials<\/a> (username and password).<\/p>\n Sometimes, the client tool for the database may not be available and you need the ability to quickly access the database to check some table records.<\/p>\n If this is the case then here is a list of free or open source SQL editor tools for you to begin running SQL queries against your DB.<\/p>\n
