A long press on an object opens its menu: export, import into a table, design, edit, and more.

3.2 A table’s rows#

A tap on a table opens its rows in a tab, 100 at a time. Use the arrows to page, and tap a column header to sort by it.

Filter 1 adds a condition; the value is passed to the database as a parameter, never pasted into the SQL. The ⋮ menu counts every row or opens the same view as a query you can edit.

The bar under the rows shows how long the read took and how many rows came back. Its buttons switch the result between a table, JSON and a chart, copy it, and export it as CSV, JSON, SQL INSERT statements or an Excel workbook.

3.3 Editing cells#

Double-tap a cell to edit it. The editor fits the column’s type: a date and time field with Now, a list for an enum, a check box for a boolean, a JSON editor, numbers and UUIDs checked as you type. Set NULL 1 stores NULL.

Tap a row number to mark the row for deletion, or + Row 2 in the rows picture to add one. Nothing is written until you save: the edits become SQL statements, and they run through the approval dialog (see Section 4.6) so you see exactly what changes.

3.4 The inspector#

With an object selected, the Inspect page lists its columns with their types, its indexes and its constraints. Copy DDL copies the CREATE statement; Browse rows, Design table and Edit definition open the object in a tab.
