Dashboards

SQL Lab

Run ad-hoc SQL against the lakehouse from your browser.

SQL Lab is the query editor inside Superset. This page covers the Databaas specifics; for the editor itself — tabs, saved queries, result exploration — see the Superset SQL Lab docs.

Prerequisite

can_use_dashboards — it covers SQL Lab too. See permissions reference.

Run a query

Open Dashboards → SQL Lab (Superset reuses your Databaas identity — no second login). Choose the database that points at the lakehouse, then pick your namespace from the schema list: namespaces appear as schemas, tables under the namespace they belong to. Naming both together always works:

First rows
SELECT * FROM <namespace>.<table> LIMIT 10

Substitute the namespace and table from the catalog breadcrumb — see browsing the catalog.

Your query runs as you

SQL Lab sends your query to Trino, which runs it under your identity — the same data grants as in the catalog and notebooks. Dashboards are a door, not a filter: everyone who can open SQL Lab connects to the same databases and schemas; what differs per person is which queries return rows. See how access works and query engines.
