Tables Info

The Tables Info activity is a database-wide catalog of every table in the current database with its live storage footprint — row count, data size, index size, total size, and where the driver exposes them, the storage engine, current auto-increment value, and create/update timestamps. It's the go-to view for "what's in this database and how big is it" before drilling into a specific table.

Quick Start

Open the Tables Info activity from a database's context menu.
The full table list loads in a single sortable grid. Click any column header to sort ascending, click again to flip the direction.
Click a table name to open it in the SQL Table activity.
Use the row-hover pencil to open Table Info for schema editing, or the trash to drop the table.

Beta

SQL support is in active development — the activity carries a BETA badge in its breadcrumb. Behavior around less-common dialects and very large databases may change.

Opening It

Open Tables Info from a database in the SQL connection sidebar. There is one activity per (connection, database) pair; the breadcrumb at the top identifies which server and database you're looking at.

Columns

Every table in the database appears as one row. Columns are sortable by clicking their header; some columns are only shown when the driver reports the underlying value (typically MySQL/MariaDB for engine and auto-increment).

Column	What it shows
Table	Table name. Clickable — opens the row's data in the SQL Table activity.
Rows	Row count as reported by the driver's catalog (usually the estimate, not an exact `COUNT(*)`).
Data Size	Row-storage bytes, human-formatted.
Index Size	Sum of all index bytes.
Total Size	Data + indexes.
Engine	Storage engine (MySQL/MariaDB — e.g. `InnoDB`).
Auto Inc	Current auto-increment value (MySQL/MariaDB).
Created / Updated	Timestamps from the driver's catalog where available.
Actions	Row-hover buttons: pencil to alter/manage schema, trash to drop.

New Table — opens the Create Table activity for this database.
DB Schema — opens the visual Schema Designer for the database.
Refresh — reloads the list from the server.

Row Actions

Click the table name — jumps to the SQL Table activity for that table.
Pencil (Alter) — opens the Table Info activity where you can rename, add/change columns, edit indexes and foreign keys.
Trash (Drop) — drops the table after confirmation.

Pro Tips

Sort by Total Size descending as a first look at any unfamiliar database — the largest tables are almost always where the interesting operational risk lives.
Rows column is an estimate. The driver returns a catalog-level row count that can drift on high-churn tables. Run SELECT COUNT(*) in the SQL Editor if you need an exact number.
Refresh after DDL. Sizes and auto-increment values don't update live; hit Refresh after bulk inserts or DDL changes to see the new state.
