 | Database | Click these links to open a Hive database to reveal its tables. |
 | Table | Click the Plus icon to select this Hive table as your source. |
| View | Click the Plus icon to select this view as your source. NOTE: Previewing complex views may impact performance. |
 | Page navigation | Use these links to navigate between pages of databases and tables. NOTE: In some cases, subsequent pages of tables may be blank, and counts of tables may not match displayed figures. This is a known issue. |

Search List
To filter the list of databases or tables, enter a string in the Search box. The filter is applied as you type and matches anywhere in the name of a currently displayed database or table name.
Preview Table Data
Database tables are displayed by name only. To preview the data in the table, click the Eye icon next to the name of the table.
Tip: Table previews include available metadata information, such as column headers and column and row counts.
NOTE: Depending on the database type, rows may not be displayed in a specific order.
Create Dataset with SQL
As needed, you can pre-filter the selected table or view inside the database. By entering a custom SQL statement, you can remove unnecessary data from the dataset that is extracted from the database, which enables faster and more meaningful imports of your database data. See Create Dataset with SQL.
For more information, see Enable Custom SQL Query.
