Explorer View

The Explorer view in Max allows users to directly query data using SQL within the context of a specific connection. It is designed for technical users such as analysts or developers who are comfortable writing SQL.

Overview

The Explorer interface includes:

• A SQL editor at the top for writing your query
• An Execute SQL button to run the query
• A results pane at the bottom that displays returned rows from the query

Key Features

• Connection-Specific Access: Queries run using the authentication provided by the selected connection. This ensures that access respects all permissions and credentials tied to that data source.
• Direct SQL Access: Write custom SQL queries to explore, validate, or troubleshoot data directly.
• Real-Time Results: After executing a query, results are displayed immediately in the lower pane for review.

Common Use Cases

• Explore raw data before building an assistant skill
• Troubleshoot issues with metrics or filters
• Run ad-hoc analysis outside of a skill flow

Notes

• Make sure the connection you're using has the necessary permissions and that you are authorized to access it.
• The Explorer only shows data that is returned by the executed SQL
• Long-running queries may be subject to timeouts or result limits depending on your connection's settings.
