How to Run SQL Scripts
The control panel provides flexible tools to execute SQL commands against your database. You can run simple queries interactively using the console, or execute large T-SQL script files for deployment and maintenance.
Accessing the Tools
To access the script execution tools:
- Navigate to the MS SQL section in the main menu.
- Click on the specific database you wish to manage.
- Select the Run scripts tab.
Option 1: Open T-SQL Console (Interactive)
This option is best for running short queries, checking table data, or applying quick fixes.
- Click the OPEN T-SQL CONSOLE button.
- This will open a new browser tab.
- Type or paste your SQL query or T-SQL batch into the text area.
- Click the EXECUTE T-SQL button to run the command and view results immediately.
Option 2: Upload and Run (From Your Computer)
Use this method to execute a script file stored on your local machine.
- Click the From your computer (or "Upload and run") link.
- Browse for your file or drag and drop it into the upload area.
- Requirements:
- The file must have a
.sql extension.
- The file size must not exceed 100MB.
- Click EXECUTE to upload and run the script.
Option 3: Run from Backup Location
Use this method if you have a large script file that you have already uploaded to the server via FTP.
- Click the From backup location link.
- Select the folder (usually
root) and the specific .sql file from the list.
- Click EXECUTE to run the script.
