Run first query

Run your first real query in e6data after setup - open the SQL Editor, pick a cluster and catalog, and confirm results.

Once your workspace is set up - a catalog connected and a cluster running - run a query to confirm everything works end to end.

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 your cluster is suspended, the first query resumes it automatically.

If results return, your deployment is working: the cluster reached your catalog's metadata and read your data in place.

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.
