View Metadata of a Dataset
Wherever a dataset is referenced in Dremio, you can view a metadata card with details about the dataset.
To view the metadata, hover over a dataset to see a metadata card appear with details about the dataset. The components of the metadata card are described below.

When viewing a metadata card in the SQL Runner's data panel, the Columns section at the bottom of the card is not displayed because columns can be displayed by expanding the dataset.
