The Interactive SQL view provides the same editing capabilities as the file editor. It also has Script, Font, and Coloring properties that you can change to make SQL files easier to read. With no change in properties, SQL files have black text on a white background and a tab stop setting of 3 for indentation.
Select Design>Options from the menu bar to open the Database Preferences dialog box. The Script and Font properties are the same as those you can set for the file editor.
For more information, see “Using the file editor”.
Editor properties apply elsewhere
When you set Script and Font properties for the Database painter,
the settings also apply to the Script view, the file editor, and
the Debug window.
You can set the text color and background color for SQL styles (such as datatypes and keywords) so that the style will stand out and the SQL code will be more readable. You set Coloring properties on the Coloring tab page.
