Basin SQL, Basin - Query R2 Data Catalog tables with R2 SQL from the dashboard

You can now query your R2 Data Catalog tables with R2 SQL directly from the Cloudflare dashboard, without installing a CLI or wiring up a client. This makes it easy to explore your Apache Iceberg ↗︎ data, validate queries, and inspect results in one place.

To get started, go to R2 Data Catalog ↗︎ in the Cloudflare dashboard and select Query data to launch the built-in SQL editor. From there you can:

  • Write and run queries interactively — Iterate on R2 SQL directly in the browser with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, instead of re-running commands through Wrangler or the REST API.
  • Explore your data — Explore your namespaces and tables alongside the editor so you can discover what's queryable without leaving the page or using other tools.
  • Understand results and performance — View result sets with per-query statistics, export them, and get helpful EXPLAIN outputs to see exactly how a query runs.

Note

Your R2 SQL credential is generated and stored for you and can be rotated in the R2 Data Catalog settings page.
