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. Its especially useful when you work with unfamiliar tables or when you need to confirm column settings while editing data.
