The watsonx.data query workspace

Databases and query engines such as Presto offer multiple ways to interact with the data. Take, for example, the interactive command line interface (CLI) that lets users run SQL statements from a command terminal. In addition, remote applications can use JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) to connect to the data store and run SQL statements.

The watsonx.data user interface includes an SQL interface for building and running SQL statements. It is called the query workspace. You can write or copy in your own SQL statements, or use templates to assist in building new SQL statements.

In addition to running one-time execution SQL statements, you save SQL statements to a worksheet, so that you can run them as often as needed later.
