# Executing Queries

> Run SQL safely and understand what executes

## Run Commands

* **Ctrl/Cmd+Enter** – runs the highlighted selection or the statement around your cursor.
* **Shift+Enter** – runs the current statement but keeps focus in the editor.
* **Run button** – executes the active statement; click the dropdown arrow for “Run All”.
* **Stop button** – cancels long-running queries.

## Semicolon-Scoped Execution

Koala analyzes the SQL around your cursor:

* If you highlight text, only the selection runs.
* If there’s no selection, the statement between the nearest semicolons runs.
* Empty lines count as boundaries, matching the VS Code extension’s behavior.

## Safety Nets

* Koala warns you before running statements flagged as destructive (e.g., `DELETE` without `WHERE`) if Safety Mode is on.
* Large exports paginate automatically so you don’t freeze the UI.

## Viewing Progress

* The status bar shows “Running…” plus elapsed time.
* Results appear in the lower pane with tabs for Grid, JSON, and Messages (including Oracle warnings).
