Data catalog

Browsing the catalog

Move through warehouses, namespaces, and tables in the portal Data Catalog.

Open Data Catalog — anyone can, it is not gated by a feature permission.

What you see is yours

The catalog lists data with your identity, so it shows only the warehouses, namespaces and tables you have been granted; an empty catalog means no grants, not a fault. With no access it shows No rights yet and a Check again button — ask an administrator, then use it once the grant is made. See data permissions.

Move through the tree

The left pane is a three-level tree:

  • Warehouse — the top-level storage area. Expand for its namespaces.
  • Namespace — a group of tables, the equivalent of a schema. Namespaces nest; a nested one is written with dots, like sales.eu.raw, and shows as folders within folders.
  • Table — a single tabular. Select it to open its detail pane.

Selecting a warehouse or namespace also opens a detail pane, because each level is its own permission scope. A non-Iceberg table shows a format badge and a different icon, and has no preview or schema — see Iceberg tables.

Refresh in the header reloads the tree after data changes.

Filter the tree

The Search field above the tree filters warehouses, namespaces and tables as you type; clear it to see everything again. This is not the portal’s ⌘K search — Search filters the current tree, ⌘K searches the whole portal. See search with ⌘K.
