Using the SQL Console

June 16th, 2020


The Mango SQL Console provides the ability to directly access the system's database for both querying and updating. This facility is provided primarily for troubleshooting or system repair. It is not appropriate for regular use due to the risk of data corruption.

Only valid individual SQL statements may be submitted. Do not end your statements with ';' characters.

To get a list of tables created by your Mango Automation instance, click the Get table list button

CREATE TABLE pointValues SELECT * FROM pointValues_old LIMIT 0
  1. Drop the pointValues_old table.

Note: this will permanently delete all pointValues data
