About Data manager

The Data manager page in IBM® watsonx.data is the entry point to browse the schemas and tables by engine. You can select an engine by selecting the Browse data tab to view the associated catalogs, schemas, and tables.

From the Data manager page, you can create schemas and tables by using the Create option. You can also select a catalog or schema, click the overflow menu, and use the corresponding Create option to create a schema or table. Create table from file option in the overflow menu of schema is also used to ingest a data file into watsonx.data. Similarly, schemas and tables can be dropped from the catalogs.

Wait for a few minutes to view the changes after a schema or table is dropped.

You can Ingest data from the Data manager page. Other tasks that can be performed in the Data manager page include adding, renaming, or dropping a column.

You can browse the Table schema and up to 25 rows of Data sample for some tables. You can view the Time travel snapshots and use the Rollback feature to rollback or rollforward to any snapshots for Iceberg tables.

watsonx.data provides pre-defined Sample and benchmarking data, such as tpch and tpcds, to test the performance of a database system under controlled conditions. It also provides System monitoring data that uses jmx and system metrics to collect data about the system's health and performance during benchmark testing to understand how the system responds to the workload. Sample and benchmarking data, tpch and tpcds can only be queried using the Presto engines.
