Table of contents
The Metadata panel displays detailed information about the data structure of the current row in the Data editor. It helps you understand column properties and database-level details without leaving the data view.
To open the Metadata click Panels -> Metadata on the Right sidebar or use shortcut.
View metadata
The panel shows metadata for the row that contains the selected cell. For each column, you can see attributes such as:
- column name and data type
- type length, precision, and scale
- nullable and default value settings
- constraints (primary key, foreign key, unique, etc.)
- source table and schema
This panel is read-only and meant for quick inspection of database metadata. It’s especially useful when you work with unfamiliar tables or when you need to confirm column settings while editing data.
