These unshared SQL worksheets work as independent sessions, and so a DML operation performed on one worksheet does not reflect on the other until it is committed. The unshared SQL worksheets contain a * icon in the sheet name. This will save a considerable amount of development time as multiple tasks can be done in parallel, like fetching data from two different views, validating more than one process, etc. Each of these sheets acts as a separate database connection. Unshared SQL worksheet helps to execute different queries or processes in parallel. Click the Unshared SQL Worksheet icon or use the shortcut is CTRL + SHIFT + N.
