Creating Custom Code Snippets in Navicat 16 Jan 9, 2023 by Robert Gravelle

The Code Snippets feature was introduced to all "Non-Essentials" Navicat Database Administration and Development tools in version 12. Version 16 added Code Snippets to Navicat's cloud services so that users could save their Code Snippets to the cloud and share them across Navicat products. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Code Snippets feature, it allows you to insert reusable code into your SQL statements when working in the SQL Editor. Besides gaining access to a collection of built-in snippets, you can also define your own snippets. We've talked about Code Snippets before. The March 14, 2018 blog, Using Navicat Code Snippets, provided a general overview of the Code Snippets feature. Today's blog will cover how to create your own custom Code Snippets. It's something that can make writing queries a whole lot easier!

Using SQL Aliases to Simplify Your Queries and Customize the Results Dec 20, 2022 by Robert Gravelle

Aliases temporarily rename a table or a column in such a way that does not affect the underlying table(s) or view(s). As a feature of SQL that is supported by most, if not all, relational database management systems, aliases are a great way to both simplify your queries and/or customize the column headers in your result sets. In this blog, we'll do both, using Navicat Premium 16.

Tablespace Management

This 3rd and final part of the Navicat 16 and Tablespaces series will focus on how to manage tablespaces in MySQL using Navicat Premium 16. Recall that Part 1 presented some advantages offered by tablespaces, including Recoverability, Ease of Adding More Tables, Automatic Storage Management, and the Ability to Isolate Data in Buffer Pools for Improved Performance or Memory Utilization. The second installment provided more information on what tablespaces are, how they work and the types of default tablespaces you'll find in the various relational database products.

The Advantages

Did you know that Navicat 16 supports tablespaces? A table space is a storage structure for tables (as well as indexes, large objects, and long data) that organizes database data into logical storage groupings that relate to where data is stored on the filesystem. It's main function is to link the physical storage layer and the logical storage layer. By assigning tables to a tablespace you can control the physical storage layout by putting some tables on faster or more redundant disks, or to stripe tables across disks. This series is split into two parts: in the first couple of blogs, we'll cover the theoretical side, specifically, what sort of advantages tablespaces offer, as well as how they work and. The second part will focus on more practical matters, i.e., how to manage tablespaces in Navicat 16.
