Hi friends, there is no feature to preview actual rows from data sources yet, right?

Like this feature request I suppose: <https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/p/preview-data-in-dataset-entity-pages>

But someone writes here "The sample rows of data presents under Stats Tab" - that isn't true is it?

Some data sources support data profiling and allow you to see some example column values, next to the typical profiling metrics (min value, max value, % of nulls, ...). The stats tab is the data profiling visualisation

Ah I see... well lets hope that feature comes some time soon

Currently we only include row-anonymized sample values. We'd definitely be intererested in capturing a more well-structured row-preview, however. As long as we put proper access controls behind it, we should be in good shape

Hmm, a bit stupid follow-up question to you both: How can I do that? I would like to try out the anonymized row preview

Row-anonymized sample values coming from our profiling feature :slightly_smiling_face:

This is supported for the warehouses and some other sources like Postgres

<@U02HXB5UC9Y> here’s an example! You can check it out in demo <https://demo.datahubproject.io/dataset/urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:snowflake,long_tail_companions.adoption.pet_profiles,PROD)/Stats?is_lineage_mode=false|here>

from my trials it feels more like GE took 3 rows and made them the sample values for the stats tab :slightly_smiling_face: so effectively i can guess how 1 row actually is
