Use the Table Metadata Browser

The Table Metadata Browser is accessible by selecting the appropriate option from the View menu, or by pressing Ctrl + H. The Table Metadata Browser is for advanced users who want to look at the details of the SQL tables stored in a paradata log. Each table is listed, and by clicking on the table, you can view information about the table's columns. By clicking on a table column, you can view any codes that are associated with that column's values.
The information displayed by the Table Metadata Browser comes from the set of three metadata tables stored in the paradata log.
In the SQL Query Builder section, a few options allow you to customize a SQL query that returns the results of the selected table. These options are described in the settings and Table Browser helps. You can click on Execute in Query Constructor to see the results of the query.
