The Database Explorer panel in Aginity Pro can be toggled by using the Database Explorer and Catalog tabs on the left-hand pane of the application as shown below. The Database Explorer is used to navigate database objects based on the Connections defined in Aginity Pro. The Catalog browser is used to navigate SQL Analytics that you have personally stored.
Below is a quick start video of using the Database Explorer in Aginity Pro
(video will be added soon)
Viewing the Database Data Dictionary
Once you have established a connection to a database you can browse the database dictionary catalogs. You can toggle to the Database Explorer browser by clicking on the tab as shown below. The database data dictionaries typically contain the tables, columns, views, and other database objects available to query from the query panel.
Once you have selected the Database Explorer tab you can drill into each connection as shown below.
Quick Actions from Explorer
Currently, you can do the following quick actions from the Database Explorer
SQL Statement Generation
To generate typical SQL statements from tables or views you can right-click on the object, navigate to scripts and choose the appropriate script as shown below.

Selective SQL Generation on a Set of Columns
To generate SQL statements based on a selection of columns within a Table or View, multi-select the columns by holding Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) and selecting the columns as shown below. Then generate the SQL statement.

Hint
Make sure you don’t have the table name selected and column names at the same time. If you do it will generate the SQL for the whole table.
Drag and Drop Capabilities
You can drag and drop any object from the DB Explorer into the Query Panel
Note
Double-clicking expands the DB Explorer tree
Copy JDBC Connection String
If you select any Connection (Top level of the tree) and select “Copy Connection string to Clipboard” you will get the full JDBC URI which is helpful for debugging. See this Knowledge Base Article for help with debugging your Aginity Pro connections.
