SQL extension features and usage
This section details the various features of the JupyterLab SQL extension in Studio, and provides instructions on how to use them. Before you can use the SQL extension to access and query data from your JupyterLab notebooks, an administrator must first configure the connection to your data sources. For information on how administrators can create connections to data sources, see SQL extension data source connections.
Note
To use the SQL extension, your JupyterLab application must run on a SageMaker AI
distribution
The extension provides two components to help you access, discover, query, and analyze data from pre-configured data sources.
-
Use the user interface of the SQL extension to discover and explore your data sources. The UI capabilities can be further divided into the following subcategories.
