View data
When you double-click a table in the Database tool window (), the table, view, or virtual view opens in the data editor. You can browse and edit table data in three modes: Table, Tree, Text, and Transpose. To switch between these modes, click the View as button (
) and select the mode that you need.
Transpose: viewing mode in which rows and columns are interchanged. You can combine this checkbox with other viewing modes.
To make this mode a default for tables and views, open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S and navigate to and select the Automatically transpose tables. When this option is enabled, query results are not transposed.
Table: the default viewing mode of table data. Data in a table is stored in a cell that is an intersection of a vertical column and horizontal row.
Tree: viewing mode in which data is displayed in the key-value table with the possibility to expand the key cell if it contains children nodes. Data from the expanded children node is distributed between key and value columns. You might consider using this mode to work with JSON and array data.
Text: viewing mode in which data is displayed as a text.

Using Geo viewer for geographical data in PostgreSQL
The Geo viewer is a graphic viewer that you can use to explore geospatial data in your database. The Geo viewer opens in the Services tool window. You can click rows to navigate to the corresponding area on the map or click a pin on the map to navigate to the corresponding row.
To detach the Geo viewer tab from the Services tool window, drag it from the Services tool window.
Currently, CLion supports coordinates in the following formats: WKT, WKB, and PostGIS geometry 4326.
