<p>You can now query your <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-catalog/">R2 Data Catalog</a> tables with <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-sql/">R2 SQL</a> directly from the Cloudflare dashboard, without installing a CLI or wiring up a client. This makes it easy to explore your <a href="https://iceberg.apache.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apache Iceberg<span class="external-link"> ↗︎</span></a> data, validate queries, and inspect results in one place.</p> <img src="https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=3080,height=1696,format=webp/_astro/r2-sql-studio.DCmHJaqy.png" alt="R2 SQL Query Editor" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="3080" height="1696"> <p>To get started, go to <a href="https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/data-catalog/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">R2 Data Catalog<span class="external-link"> ↗︎</span></a> in the Cloudflare dashboard and select <strong>Query data</strong> to launch the built-in SQL editor. From there you can:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Write and run queries interactively</strong> — Iterate on R2 SQL directly in the browser with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, instead of re-running commands through Wrangler or the REST API.</li> <li><strong>Explore your data</strong> — Explore your namespaces and tables alongside the editor so you can discover what's queryable without leaving the page or using other tools.</li> <li><strong>Understand results and performance</strong> — View result sets with per-query statistics, export them, and get helpful <code>EXPLAIN</code> outputs to see exactly how a query runs.</li> </ul> <aside role="note" aria-label="Note" class="aside-card flex items-start gap-3 rounded-lg px-4 py-3 my-4" style="--_c: var(--nb-info); --_t: var(--nb-info-muted);" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><span class="flex h-[1.375em] shrink-0 items-center" aria-hidden="true" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><svg width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 256 256" class="h-[1em] w-[1em]" data-astro-cid-znle5jil="true" data-icon="ph:info"><path fill="currentColor" d="M128 24a104 104 0 1 0 104 104A104.11 104.11 0 0 0 128 24m0 192a88 88 0 1 1 88-88a88.1 88.1 0 0 1-88 88m16-40a8 8 0 0 1-8 8a16 16 0 0 1-16-16v-40a8 8 0 0 1 0-16a16 16 0 0 1 16 16v40a8 8 0 0 1 8 8m-32-92a12 12 0 1 1 12 12a12 12 0 0 1-12-12"/></svg></span><div class="flex min-w-0 flex-1 flex-col gap-0.5" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><p class="m-0 text-base leading-snug font-semibold" data-astro-cid-znle5jil>Note</p><div class="aside-card-body text-sm leading-normal" data-astro-cid-znle5jil><p>Your R2 SQL credential is generated and stored for you and can be rotated in the R2 Data Catalog settings page.</p></div></div></aside>
