General Settings

Most of this tab takes effect the moment you click. Language waits for a restart, and the query timeout reaches a connection only when that connection opens.

​

Language

System (the default), English, Tiếng Việt, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 한국어, Türkçe. The tab tells you to restart once you pick a different one.

​

Startup

When TablePro starts takes Reopen Last Session (the default) or Show Welcome Screen. What a reopened session brings back, and what it does when a server is down, is on Tabs.

​

Tabs and sidebar

Icons, comments, and row size are also under View Options in the sidebar’s right-click menu, which every sidebar menu ends with.

​

Query timeout

How many seconds a query runs before it is cancelled. The default is 60; the picker offers 10 to 600 seconds and No limit. The value is read when a connection opens, so a change reaches an open connection only after you reconnect. Where the engine can enforce it, the timeout becomes a server-side setting: statement_timeout on PostgreSQL, max_execution_time on MySQL and ClickHouse, max_statement_time on MariaDB. On SQLite it bounds how long a statement waits for a locked database instead. Drivers that talk HTTP (BigQuery, Cloudflare D1, LibSQL, Etcd, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse) bound the request at the timeout plus 30 seconds, and Oracle enforces it in the client: the connection is closed to unblock the call, and the next query reconnects and restores your current schema. No limit still caps an HTTP request at one hour, because the transport needs a ceiling.

​

Command line tool

Install writes a tablepro command to /usr/local/bin that opens database URLs in the app. When it cannot write there, the section prints the command to run in Terminal yourself. See Terminal and DDEV.

​

Trusted links

External links you chose to always allow, each with Forget, plus Forget All. Only a database on this machine can be trusted; a link to a remote host asks every time.

​

Software update

Automatically check for updates is on and checks in the background. Check for Updates… checks now, here or as TablePro > Check for Updates… in the menu bar. Updates come through Sparkle and are signature-checked before they install.

​

Privacy

Share anonymous usage data is on. It sends one heartbeat a day with no query text, hostname, or account in it. The full payload, field by field, is on Privacy.

​

Reset

Reset All Settings to Defaults is at the bottom of the tab. What it restores and what it leaves alone is under Where settings live.
