    When viewing table data, Data Studio automatically adjusts the column widths for table view. Users can resize the columns as needed. If the text content of a cell exceeds the total available display area, then resizing the cell column may cause DS to become unresponsive.

    • If the content of the column has spaces between the words, then word wrapping is applied to fit the column within the display area. Word wrapping is not applied if the content does not have any spaces between the words.
    • The size of a column is determined by the column with the maximum content length.
    • Any change made to the table properties from Object Browser will be reflected after refreshing () the Properties tab.
    • Pasting operation is not allowed in Data Type column.
