Table Header Actions on your SQL Data

Draxlr offers powerful actions right from your table column headers, making it easy to sort, visualize, and summarize your data with a single click.

Each column header reveals a context menu with three main features:

  1. Sort
  2. Distribution
  3. Summarize

1. Sort

Quickly reorder your data by any column:

  • Click on any column header to see the dropdown.

  • Choose Sort > Ascending or Sort > Descending to sort your table by that field.

2. Distribution

Instantly visualize the distribution of values in any column:

  • What it does:
    Creates a bar chart that shows a group by of the selected field, with a count of occurrences for each unique value.

  • How to use:
    Click the column header, then choose Distribution.
    A bar graph will be generated, grouping your data by that field and counting rows for each group.

3. Summarize

Get quick summary statistics for any column:

  • What it does:
    Shows a menu with these options:

    • Max
    • Min
    • Average
    • Sum
    • Count
    • Distinct count

    Note: For numeric columns, you’ll see all options; for other columns, only Count and Distinct count are available.

  • How to use:
    Click the column header, then select Summarize and pick your desired statistic.
    The summary value will display front-and-center in the workspace.

Tips

  • These header actions work instantly, no need to build a separate query.
  • Use Distribution to get a quick sense of categorical fields (like city, country, employee).
  • Summarize helps you get key stats on numeric fields in just a click.
