Catalog

Database overview

Object counts and quick links into the catalog.

The story

These pages use illustrative scenarios to walk through real workbench panels. Sidebar labels, Bridge paths, and connection schemes match the app; characters and timelines are examples for learning.

Before a schema review, opens Database overview to see object counts at a glance — 47 tables, 12 views, 3 extensions — and clicks through to trouble spots.

The Catalog panel Overview is where Bridge turns raw metadata into decisions — counts, definitions, dependencies, and links into the grid or Query lab. No information_schema archaeology; no guessing which mat view is stale.

Open Overview from the left sidebar after you connect; everything here reflects the live connection, not a cached export from yesterday.

Bridge path: /database/overview

Database overview

Step 1

Object counts and quick links

Overview shows scale: hundreds of indexes might mean migration risk; zero extensions might mean missing pgvector.

Each count links deeper into catalog.

Object counts and quick links into the catalog. Path /database/overview. Summarizes tables, views, indexes, extensions for active connection.

Step 2

Onboarding new engineers

New hire connects read-only staging, reads overview, knows where to start — Tables before Triggers.

Faster than a wiki that rotted in Confluence.

Landing panel in Catalog section. Pairs with Schema map for visual learners.

Step 3

Triage with Pulse

Pulse looks odd — overview confirms extension count jumped after deploy. Rollback decision in minutes.

Overview is the table of contents for the database story.

Cross-link to Workspace → Pulse and Ops panels when counts shift unexpectedly.

This panel appears in the Nexoxa Bridge left sidebar after you connect with the matching connection URL. See the connection docs above for postgresql://, ssh://, sftp://, s3://, or smtp:// examples.
