  • Catalog explorer #

    Access the user interface to manage and explore catalogs from the Catalogs item in the main navigation. Explore the nested schemas, tables, and columns of a catalog without running a cluster with catalog explorer.

    Catalog explorer allows users to browse through the metadata of a catalog to view schemas, tables, views, and columns. You can see which schema and tables exist and what columns and data they contain to create queries using the information you discover.

    From the list of catalogs, click a catalog name to open the catalog explorer pane for that catalog.
