Creating a New SQL Snippet

Creating a snippet in Snippets Generator is very easy.

Right after you start the program, you just click on the “New Snippet” icon and the respective screen comes up. Then, you enter some metadata such as: Title, Description and Author Name, and you select the Snippet Type which can either be “Expansion” or “SurroundsWith”.

The final and most important part of the new snippet creation process, is to write the SQL script. Snippets Generator also helps you with that. Using the “Snippet Templates Library”, you can find and use templates that will allow you to write the SQL script faster.

 

Opening an Existing SQL Snippet

Snippets Generator allows you to open an existing SQL Snippet and based on it, to generate a new one.

To do this, you just click on the “Open Snippet” icon, open the file, and the snippet editor will automatically open and populate a new snippet’s fields with the data of the existing snippet. The rest of the process, is exactly the same like creating a new snippet.

 

Snippet Templates Library
