Navigator and Object Browsing

The left sidebar is the navigator — it shows all configured connections and lets you browse their objects. Click any item to open it in the active pane.

Filter buttons

Use the filter buttons at the top of the sidebar to narrow the connection list:

FilterShows
AllAll connections
DatabasesMySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake connections
Files and S3Local file and S3-compatible storage connections

Use the search box below the filters to find objects by name across all expanded connections.

Database connections

Expand a database connection to browse its hierarchy. The tree structure depends on the database type.

MySQL

connection (host:port)
└── database
    ├── TABLES (count)
    │   └── table_name          size
    ├── VIEWS (count)
    │   └── view_name
    ├── FUNCTIONS (count)
    │   └── function_name
    └── PROCEDURES (count)
        └── procedure_name

PostgreSQL

connection (host:port)
└── database
    └── schema
        ├── TABLES (count)
        │   └── table_name      size
        └── VIEWS (count)
            └── view_name

Each table shows its size in the navigator (e.g., 16.00 KB, 1.52 MB, 4.35 GB).

Database Overview

Click a database name in the navigator to open the Database Overview — a dashboard showing the state of the selected database.

Essentials

  • Encoding and collation
  • Total size on disk
  • Table, view, and schema counts

CDC readiness

Shows whether the database is configured for Change Data Capture:

  • MySQL — binary log status, format (ROW), row image (FULL), server ID
  • PostgreSQL — WAL level (logical), replication slots (max/free), WAL senders

Activity

  • Current connection count and limit
  • Active sessions

Top Tables

Lists tables sorted by size with approximate row counts. For PostgreSQL, table names are schema-qualified (e.g., private.products, public.products).

S3 and storage connections

S3-compatible storage connections (AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, etc.) show a bucket and folder hierarchy in the navigator:

S3 connection
└── bucket-name
    └── folder/
        └── stream_folder/
            ├── table_name          size
            │   └── part-0-001.parquet    size
            └── manifest.json
  • Folders are shown as expandable tree nodes
  • Table groups (e.g., actor, city) aggregate the underlying part files (Parquet, CSV, JSON)
  • Individual files are shown with their size when you expand a table group
  • Click a table group to open its data in the active pane — the same Data/Structure/Summary tabs are available
  • S3 file data is read-only

Local file connections

Local file connections (type files) browse the configured directory:

Files connection
└── directory/
    ├── table_name          size
    │   └── part-1-001.csv.zst    size
    └── other files

Local file browsing works the same as S3 — click a table group to view data, structure, or summary.

Context menu

Right-click any object in the navigator for additional actions:

ActionAvailable on
Open in Left/Right PaneTables, views, files
Open in SQL ConsoleTables, views, databases, files, file-backed table folders
Show DiagramDatabases
RefreshConnections, databases

Hover over a supported table, view, file, or file-backed table folder to reveal quick actions for opening it in the left pane, opening it in the right pane, or opening it in SQL Console.

When you open a table, view, or file-backed table, three tabs are available: Data, Structure, and Summary. The breadcrumb at the top shows the full path (connection / database / table) and an Editable or Read-only badge. See Viewing Data and Examining Table Structure for details.
