Run your first query

​

Run a query

1. Open the workspace’s Compute Plane and go to the SQL Editor.
2. In the Query Action Bar, select your catalog, database, and cluster.
3. Enter a query and click Run (or press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter):
   SHOW DATABASES;
   SELECT * FROM your_schema.your_table LIMIT 10;
   
4. Confirm results appear in the results pane below the editor.

​

If the query fails

• An access error usually means the engine can’t read your storage - recheck the cloud access you granted during setup.
• A connection or schema error usually points to the catalog - re-open it and use Test Connection.
• A timeout may mean the cluster is under-provisioned or the query is heavy - see Cluster sizing and scaling.

​

Where to next

• Secure your workspace - configure SSO, roles, and access control: Identity and RBAC.
• Connect a BI tool - point Tableau and other tools at your cluster: BI tool recipes.
