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:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | All connections |
| Databases | MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake connections |
| Files and S3 | Local 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).
Toolbar actions
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Refresh | Reload database metadata |
SQL Console (>_) | Open a SQL Console in context |
| Share | Share the overview |
| Schema DDL | Copy DDL to clipboard or save as .sql file |
| Create Schema | Create a new schema (PostgreSQL only) |
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:
| Action | Available on |
|---|---|
| Open in Left/Right Pane | Tables, views, files |
| Open in SQL Console | Tables, views, databases, files, file-backed table folders |
| Show Diagram | Databases |
| Refresh | Connections, 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.
