## Getting Started
1. [Install the extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=marinv.vscode-db-explorer-firebird)
2. Restart VS Code and switch to DB Explorer view by clicking the newly added **Firebird icon** located at the VS Code **Activity Bar**.
## Using the extension
### Add new connection
You can add new connection to your Firebird database by clicking the _Add New Connection_ icon in the DB Explorer title bar. You will be presented with a Connection Wizard to guide you through the process. After the process is complete, your database connection will appear inside DB Explorer View
### Explore the database contents
You can view the database structure by expaning it's tree inside DB Explorer View.
> **Tip**: Right-clicking the tree nodes will give you the list of predefined custom queries.
### Set an active database
Before running your queries, remember to set an active database! You can:
- Right-click the database node and select _Set Active_
- Click the Firebird indicator in the bottom left status bar and select database from a list
> **Tip**: The _New Query_ command sets the selected database active and creates new SQL document.
### Running SQL queries
Execute your SQL query by pressing `Ctrl+Alt+Q` or by right-clicking the editor and selecting the _Run Firebird Query_ command.
The results will be displayed in new tab.
> **Important**: Multiple queries are currently **not supported**.
> If you have multiple queries written in your SQL document, make the selection around the one you want to run, otherwise you'll get an error.
