Query History

Query History keeps a log of your successful query runs so you can reopen a previous query without saving it first.

  1. Open the Write Query screen
  2. Click History

Query History is not available when you are running a Report.

At the top of the Query History window, choose what to show:

  • This Query — runs for the saved query you currently have loaded. This option is unavailable when no saved query is loaded.
  • All History — all of your runs in this browser, including queries you have not saved. Unsaved runs appear as Unsaved query.

Each row includes:

  • Executed — the date and time of the run
  • Source — the saved query name, or Unsaved query
  • Rows — how many rows came back. When results are limited, this can show both the rows displayed and the total, such as 25 / 1000
  • Preview — a short preview of the query text

Newest runs appear first. Use search to find a run, and paging when there are more than 10 entries.

  1. Click a row to select it
  2. Click Add to Editor

The Query History window closes and the selected run’s SQL replaces the text currently in the editor. Parameter values from the original run are not restored.

If no row is selected, choose a query first.

  1. Choose This Query or All History for the rows you want to remove
  2. Click Clear History
  3. Confirm when prompted

Clear History removes only the rows currently visible. Clearing This Query does not remove history for other queries. Only your own history is affected.

  • History is stored in this browser only. It is not synced across devices or browsers.
  • NimbusQL keeps up to 50 of your most recent successful runs.
  • Failed, stopped, or empty executes are not recorded.
  • If you highlight part of a query and run that selection, History records the selected text, not the full editor.
  • Reports do not write or show Query History.
