Tables

A searchable list of all tables in your warehouse.

Introduction

The Tables page provides a searchable list of all tables in your warehouse. Key information about each table is displayed in the fields. Clicking on any table will open the Table Info page which contains detailed information about the selected table.

Unit Tests

The unit test results for the latest instance of each unit test run in the last seven days is presented for each table in the Unit tests field. If all tests are passed the icon will be green. If at least one test fails but more than half succeed the icon will be orange otherwise the icon will be red. To get more information about any failed unit tests hover over the cell. For information on what unit tests are and how to add unit tests to transforms please read Create Data Unit Tests.

Filtering, Searching and Sorting

By default all tables in the warehouse are displayed in a scrollable list. The list can be filtered using search, the dropdown filters or the header filters. Search is supported on every field that is displayed meaning if the query text matches a subset of characters in any field the table will be displayed. There are two dropdown filters for database and schema. All other fields can be filtered from their field header using the dropdown next to the field name (as shown in the example below). To sort the results in the table click on the field name. By default any search or filtering of tables is saved for the user until it is cleared, to clear click clear filters.
