Layouts

✓ functional

Give multiple result sets the layout that makes the comparison or review easy.

A query can return several result sets at once, and the useful layout depends on what you are comparing. Choose one from the grid's Layout submenu; the toolbar toggle moves quickly between Tabbed and Stacked.

LayoutShowsReach for it when
TabbedOne result set at a time, one tab each.One set matters, or the rows are wide. The default.
StackedEvery set as a collapsible card in one scroll.Several small sets need to stay in view together.
CanvasA grid of cells you define in the SQL itself.A dashboard-style query whose arrangement should travel with the file.

Tabbed and Stacked are a view preference - flip between them at any time without touching the query, and SQLly remembers the choice per editor tab when session resume is on. Canvas is different in kind: the arrangement is written into the SQL as comments, so it is part of the file and reproduces for whoever opens it next.

Detaching is separate. Detach results to window opens the whole results panel in its own OS window, regardless of the current layout, so a second monitor can earn its keep.

Layout only decides where a result set is drawn. Sorting, filtering, formatting, pivoting, and export all behave the same in each.

In this section

  • Tabbed — Keep the workspace calm by looking at one result set at a time.
  • Stacked — Keep every result in view on one scroll when the whole batch matters.
  • Canvas — Arrange result panes freely when the answer is easier to understand side by side.
