Exploring a Data Source

To get details on a data source, you choose it from a list of data sources that are associated with or available to your workspace.

An open workspace.

Procedure

On the Data Sources tab, select the dataset to explore by clicking its name. This brings you to the details page of the dataset.

Note: The data view depends on the data source (DB, Hadoop, or Hive). For example, if you are working with Hadoop, the details page is displayed as rows of comma-separated values. If you are working with PostgreSQL, you see a view similar to the one shown in the following image.

Here is a sample dataset that has been associated with the workspace:

Any Team Studio user with permission to view this dataset can use these commands:

Previewing Data in a Table
Visualizing Data in a Table
Analyzing Data in a Table
Adding a Note: Select this option to add a note to a dataset in a schema. If you are working from the workspace, you can support your note with attachments from the desktop, datasets, or work files. If you are working from the data source browser, you can support your note only with attachments from the desktop.
Associating Datasets with a Workspace
Adding and Editing Tags
Creating a New Workflow (Data Analysts and Analytic Developers only)
Downloading (A specific number of rows or the entire dataset)

Important: The Explore, Data Preview, Visualize, and Analyze actions can also be run on datasets that you browse to from the main data sources page.
