From the Profiling perspective of Talend Studio, you can create an analysis to examine the content of a given database.

Before you begin, you have defined at least one database connection in the Profiling perspective of Talend Studio.

To create a database content analysis, you must first define the relevant analysis and then select the database connection you want to analyze.

From the Statistical information view, you can:

* Click a catalog or a schema to list all tables included in it along with a summary of their content: number of rows, keys, and user-defined indexes.

  The selected catalog or schema is highlighted in blue. Catalogs or schemas highlighted in red indicate potential problems in data.

* Right-click a catalog or a schema and select Overview analysis to analyze the content of the selected item.

* Right-click a table or a view and select Table analysis to create a table analysis on the selected item.

* Click any column header in the analytical table to sort alphabetically the data listed in catalogs or schemas.
