Editing Large Scripts

  • Koala streams editor state to disk so massive scripts don’t block the UI.
  • Use the tab history panel to split long scripts into separate tabs—duplicate the tab and delete unused sections.
  • Enable the “Show minimap” option to navigate quickly.

Running Heavy Statements

  • Split statements with semicolons and run them one at a time to avoid hitting Oracle limits.
  • Keep an eye on the elapsed time indicator; click Stop if it exceeds your org’s timeout policy.

Result Management

  • Results are paginated in 1,000-row chunks stored under tabs/results/<tabId>/.
  • Use the pagination controls to fetch additional pages only when needed, reducing memory use.
  • Exporting to CSV/XLSX streams data to disk, so you can export millions of rows without freezing the UI (disk space permitting).

Tips

  • Close unused tabs to free memory—Koala persists their contents, so you can reopen them later.
  • For scheduled jobs, save the SQL to a .sql file via the editor’s Save As option and store it in version control.
