Database workspace
Browse and edit files that Streaming Hub automations use for structured context and local data.
AlphaThe Database tab is the interface for the Data Explorer. It only exposes locations configured as storage roots, then keeps navigation, file operations and text editing inside the application.
Workspace elements
| Callout | Element | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Root selector | Chooses which configured storage root the workspace displays, such as the project Context root. |
| 2 | File actions | Refresh reloads the tree; Manage Roots configures allowed locations; New File and New Folder create items; Rename and Delete modify the selection; Open Folder opens its location in Windows; Copy Relative Path copies the project-relative path used by data steps. |
| 3 | File filter | Filters the tree by file name or path without changing files on disk. |
| 4 | File tree | Browses folders and files inside the selected root. Selecting a supported text file opens it in the editor. |
| 5 | Current path | Shows the selected file relative to its configured root. |
| 6 | Reload and Save | Reload discards the editor buffer and reads the file again; Save writes the current editor contents. |
| 7 | Find in file | Searches within the open file. Prev and Next move between matches; the counter shows the current and total match count. |
| 8 | JSON editor | Displays and edits the selected supported text or JSON file. |
| 9 | File state | Reports loading, selection, validation and save status for the current file. |
| 10 | Logs and service status | Provides the same Log panel filters and connection/project indicators available in other workspaces. |
Root and path model
A root gives a friendly name to an allowed local directory. Files are addressed relative to that root—for example, context/Users/timasich/Profile.json—so a script does not need to depend on one computer's absolute path. Root configuration and path safety are described in Context storage.
Edit safely
Use Reload when another tool changed the file and you want the on-disk version. Use Save only after the JSON is complete and valid. Rename and Delete operate on the selected tree item, so confirm the highlighted path before using them.
