Use navigation icons and corresponding commands for switching between pages that show the table data and change the page size.

A number of rows that you see on the toolbar are referred to as a result set page. If this number is less than the number of rows in the table, only a subset of all the rows is shown at a time. If all the rows are currently shown, navigation icons and the corresponding commands are inactive. You can see the limit between the navigation buttons. You can change it here by clicking and selecting the necessary limit or in settings.

• Skip Generated Columns: for INSERT and UPDATE statements, do not include auto-increment fields when copying or saving data.

• Configure CSV Formats: open the CSV Formats dialog where you can manage your delimiter-separated values formats (for example, CSV, TSV).

View as

Select the mode for browsing and editing table data.

• 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 CtrlAlt0S and navigate to Tools | Database | Data Editor and Viewer. From the Automatically transpose tables list, select Always. 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.

For more information about viewing data, refer to View data.

Show Options Menu

The Show Options Menu list includes the following options:

• Show Geo Viewer: enable a graphic viewer to explore geospatial data in your database.

  For more information about the Geo viewer, refer to Using Geo viewer for geographical data in PostgreSQL.

• Show Value Editor: open a separate editor where you can edit data that is stored in the cell.

  For more information about the editor, refer to Value editor.

• Show Aggregate View: open the aggregate view where you can select values of multiple cells and get a single summary value.

  For more information about the view, refer to Aggregate view.

• Sort via ORDER BY: sort data on the database side by sending a new ORDER BY query to the database. The client-side sorting does not run any new queries and sorts only the current page.

  note

  The Sort via ORDER BY option is available only for tables in the data editor but not for table result sets in the Services tool window.

  tip

  Do not turn this option on if you want to keep interactions with the database to a minimum. For example, when the table is large or the connection to your database is slow. If you want to use sorting on the client side, clear the Sort via ORDER BY checkbox.

  You can define which sorting method to use as the default for tables. To do that, open settings by pressing CtrlAlt0S and navigate to Tools | Database | Data Editor and Viewer. In the Data Sorting section, select or clear the Sort via ORDER BY checkbox.

  For more information about sorting data, refer to Sort data.

• Show Filter: show or hide the filter box.

• Paste Format: select how you want to treat the text from the clipboard on paste.

• Reset View: restore the initial table view if you customized the table view before (for example, hidden columns or sorted data).

• View Query: view the query that generated the table.

• Copy Query to Console: copy the query that generated the table to query console.

• Open Data View Settings...: open the Data Editor and Viewer section in settings, where you can define how table data are shown and modified in your query consoles and data editors.

  For more information about the Data Editor and Viewer settings section, refer to Data editor and viewer.
