Important
When you view table data, Data Studio automatically adjusts the column widths for an optimal table view. Users can resize the columns as needed. If the text content of a cell exceeds the total available display area, then resizing the cell column may cause DS to become unresponsive.
When the data in a table cell is more than 1000 characters, it will be trimmed to 1000 characters with "..." at the end.
If the user copies the data from a cell in a table or the Result tab and pastes it on any editor (such as SQL terminal/PLSQL source editor, notepad or any other external editor application), the entire data is pasted.
If the user copies the data from a cell in a table or the Result tab and pastes it on an editable cell (same or different), the cell shows only the first 1000 characters with "..." in the end.
When the table/Result tab data is exported, the exported file contains the whole data.
Note
Individual table data window is displayed for each table.
If the data of the table that is already opened is modified, then refresh and open the table data again to view the updated information on the same opened window.
While the data is loading a message displays at the bottom stating "fetching".
If the text of a column contains spaces, word wrapping is applied to fit the column width. Word wrapping is not applied to columns without spaces.
Select part of cell content and press Ctrl+C or click
to copy selected text from a cell.The size of the column is determined by the maximum content length column.
