Data Explorer: explore data before you build
TLDR
Open an existing connection, preview the data, and check it before you write a pipeline block.
See the data before you design around it
A pipeline is easier to build when you can inspect the data that is already there. Data Explorer lets you open an existing connection, preview the data, and check it before you write a pipeline block.
Start from the connection you already use
Browse an existing connection profile, run a query, and review the result in the same Mage Pro workspace where you build the pipeline. You can understand the tables, columns, and values in front of you before committing to a transformation.
Explore the data shape, not just the schema
- Preview records before you build. Inspect results from a connection without creating a throwaway block first.
- Query with the right context. Work with your configured database connection and its active profile instead of recreating setup elsewhere.
- Investigate more data sources in one place. Explore warehouse data, remote SQL connections, and supported file-backed data without changing tools.
Keep exploration close to production work
Data Explorer keeps the connection, query, and result view together. That gives data teams a faster way to validate an assumption, investigate an unfamiliar source, or answer a question before the work becomes a pipeline change.
