SQL client tutorials for six database engines
Query, explore and develop with Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server in VS Code. Nexo SQL Studio combines a database client with dedicated Oracle SQL and PL/SQL tooling.
The existing videos demonstrate Oracle workflows. Follow the engine-specific guides for the other databases; these recordings do not demonstrate feature parity.
01
Beginner
5 min Oracle Database: Run your first query
Choose structured fields or a raw connect string. Use the supplied service name or SID. Oracle Thin mode is the default: Oracle Instant Client is not required for ordinary connections. TNS, TCPS, wallets and external authentication have additional requirements.
02
Beginner
5 min PostgreSQL: Run your first query
Enter the PostgreSQL database name and role. Check schema permissions and TLS requirements. For Supabase, use the direct or pooler details provided by the project; IPv4/IPv6 reachability and pooler behavior can affect your workflow.
03
Beginner
5 min MySQL: Run your first query
Choose the actual engine: MySQL and MariaDB have separate adapters. Enter the database name, user and TLS settings; SQL syntax, server versions and authentication plugins can differ.
04
Beginner
5 min MariaDB: Run your first query
Choose the actual engine: MySQL and MariaDB have separate adapters. Enter the database name, user and TLS settings; SQL syntax, server versions and authentication plugins can differ.
05
Beginner
5 min SQLite: Run your first query
Choose a local SQLite database file that you are authorized to access. SQLite does not need a server, port or database-user password. Confirm file access when prompted and check read-only mode before making changes.
06
Beginner
5 min Microsoft SQL Server: Run your first query
Use the SQL Server host, port, database and supported SQL-login credentials. Check encryption and certificate settings. Do not assume Windows integrated authentication, Microsoft Entra authentication or Azure SQL compatibility from SQL-login support alone.
07
Beginner
2 min Install the plugin and run your first query
Follow the complete first-run workflow: install Nexo SQL Studio, create a connection, execute SQL, and filter the results.
08
Beginner
8 min Connect to an Oracle database
Create a connection profile, test credentials, and open your first SQL worksheet from VS Code.
09
Beginner
10 min Browse schema objects and open DDL
Navigate tables, views, packages, procedures, and generated DDL from the Connections Explorer.
10
Intermediate
12 min Export objects for offline work
Save Oracle object definitions into a project folder so changes can be reviewed and versioned.
11
Intermediate
15 min Deploy a managed change
Prepare a deployment, review selected objects, and run the deploy flow against a target connection.
