Managing your data and schemas in the Neon Console
Summary: The Tables page in the Neon Console is a visual, interactive editor powered by Drizzle Studio. It supports reading, inserting, updating, deleting, filtering, and exporting Postgres table data, plus managing schemas, views, enums, roles, and RLS policies without writing SQL. Choose this page over the SQL Editor when you want point-and-click record editing, column filtering, bulk deletion, or JSON/CSV export.
Managing your data and schemas in the Neon Console
Section titled “Managing your data and schemas in the Neon Console”Use the Tables page to easily view, edit, and manage your data and schemas
The Tables page in the Neon Console offers a dynamic, visual interface for managing data and schemas. Fully interactive, this view lets you add, update, and delete records, filter data, modify columns, drop or truncate tables, export data in both .json and .csv formats, and manage schemas, tables, views, and enums.
Note: The Tables page is powered by a Drizzle Studio integration. For tracking updates, see Tables page enhancements and updates.
Edit records
Section titled “Edit records”Edit individual entries directly within the table interface. Click on a cell to modify its contents. You don't have to press Enter (though you can). Just move your cursor to the next cell you want to modify. Click Save x changes when you're done.
Add records
Section titled “Add records”Add new records to your tables using the Add record button.
A couple of things to note:
- You need to hit
Enterfor your input to register. When editing existing fields, you don't have to do this. But for new fields, if you tab to the next cell, you'll lose your input. - You can leave
DEFAULTfields untouched and the cell will inherit the right value based on your schema definition. For example, defaults for boolean fields are automatically applied when you clickSave changes.
Toggle columns
Section titled “Toggle columns”You can simplify your view by hiding (or showing) individual columns in the table. You're not modifying content here; deselect a checked column to hide it, and re-select the column to show it again. Your selections are saved as a persistent filter.
Add filters
Section titled “Add filters”Filters let you store simplified views of your data that you can come back to later. You can use dropdown-filtering to select columns, conditions, and input text for the filter.
Each new filter is added as a View under your list of Tables.
Delete records
Section titled “Delete records”Use the checkboxes to mark any unwanted records for deletion, or use the select-all checkbox for bulk deletion. Click Delete x records to complete the process.
Export data
Section titled “Export data”You can also use the checkboxes to mark records for export. Select the records you want to include in your export, then choose Export selected... from the export dropdown.
Or just choose Export all... to download the entire contents of the table.
You can export to either JSON or CSV. You can also copy or export selected rows as SQL INSERT statements, and copy a table's CREATE TABLE statement to the clipboard.
Tip: Keyboard shortcuts
The Tables page supports keyboard shortcuts for common actions, including selecting all rows (Cmd/Ctrl + A), adding a row (Option/Alt + N), filtering (Option/Alt + F), and refreshing (Cmd/Ctrl + R).
Manage schemas
Section titled “Manage schemas”In addition to managing data, you can manage your database schema directly from the Tables page. Schema management options include:
- Creating, altering, and dropping schemas
- Creating and altering tables
- Creating and altering views
- Creating enums
- Refreshing the database schema
Create Postgres roles
Section titled “Create Postgres roles”You can create Postgres roles from the Tables page. Define a role name, select from a list of commonly granted privileges, set a password, and click Review and Create.

Add privileges
Section titled “Add privileges”For more advanced privilege assignments, click the Add privilege link when creating a role to build your GRANT statements.

Define RLS policies
