Create an instance → — Choose a free or dedicated configuration, review the resources, and distinguish a local preview from live provisioning.
Navigate your database → — Find your instance, understand the workspace sidebar, and open connection and operations settings.
Create a schema → — Define native fields in the table builder, inspect connections, and configure indexes separately.
Insert data → — Validate a CSV or JSON batch, add individual records, and verify the resulting data.
Run queries → — Choose SQL, vector, full-text, or graph inputs and inspect the returned records.
Workbench → — Use the query library, editor tabs, result formats, saved drafts, and local history.
Explain and plans → — Open Explain from the Workbench and use Query stats or Slow queries to investigate costly work.
