DataWorks:Query and manage common data

Last Updated:Jul 04, 2025

If you need to quickly find data such as tables in data sources, AI asset information, code or APIs in DataAnalysis or DataService Studio, and workspaces, you can search for this data in Data Map.

Limits

Tenants who have created PAI workspaces can search for and view corresponding types of AI assets (datasets, AI models, algorithm jobs, and model services).

Go to the DataMap page

Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select the desired region. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Governance > Data Map. On the page that appears, click Go to Data Map.

Tables

In Data Map, you can quickly search for tables of various compute engine types and view information such as fields and lineages on the table details page. You can also perform operations such as requesting permissions, adding tables to data albums, and analyzing data.

Search for a table on the homepage of Data Map

In the left-side navigation pane, click the image.png icon to go to the Homepage.

  • You can quickly filter and find tables of corresponding compute engines on the Homepage.image

  • Data Map recommends commonly used tables based on your Alibaba Cloud account browsing history, allowing you to quickly click and query them.image

  • After you search for a table on the Data Map homepage and go to the table details page, you can view the basic and business information about the table, including the project to which it belongs, the table owner, and the environment (production or development). The detailed information tabs on the right provide functions such as field details, lineage relationships, and data preview, helping you quickly understand the table structure and content.

Search for a table by using the search feature

  1. In the left-side navigation pane, click the image.png icon to go to the Search page.

    • In the Data Source section, filter search results by data source type.

    • In the Filter Condition section, filter search results by category, project, or database. For information about how to configure table categories, see Table management by category: Configuration management.

  3. After you find the desired table, click the table name to go to the details page. On this page, you can also perform the following operations:

    • Request permissions: You can request table permissions in Security Center and view permission request records in Data Map. For more information, see Request and manage table permissions.

    • View lineage: After you click this option, you can view the lineage relationships between tables and fields based on the parsing result of data forwarding operations such as job scheduling and data synchronization. The lineages that are generated by manual operations such as ad hoc queries are excluded. For more information, see View lineage information.

Precautions

  • You can view tables of only the following data source types:

    • MaxCompute: The query operations of different compute engine types are similar. If you want to use a MaxCompute compute engine, you can refer to MaxCompute table data.

    • E-MapReduce: includes DLF and Hive metadata information.

    • Hologres

    • MySQL

    • AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL

    • AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0

    • Tablestore

    • CDH Hive

    • AnalyticDB for MySQL 2.0

    • PostgreSQL

    • SQL Server

    • Oracle

    • StarRocks

    • ClickHouse

    • Lindorm

  • After you enter a keyword, the drop-down list displays up to 5 tables that meet the criteria. Click the name of the target table to go to the table details page to view detailed information.

  • If the table contains data warehouse planning information (such as XX layer, XX domain, etc.), it indicates that the table was generated by DataWorks Data Modeling. If you want to use the Data Modeling feature, see Data Modeling.
