title: Database Admin
---
The Database Admin UI lets you quickly browse and navigate your App's configured RDBMS schemas and tables:
It can be enabled by registering the `AdminDatabaseFeature` plugin from [ServiceStack.Server](https://nuget.org/packages/ServiceStack.Server):
```csharp
services.AddPlugin(new AdminDatabaseFeature());
```
Which without any additional configuration your App's configured databases will be listed on the home page, including their schemas, tables and any registered [named connections](/ormlite/getting-started#multiple-database-connections):
Selecting a table takes us to a familiar tabular search results grid, similar in appearance and functionality to [Locode's Auto UI](/locode/):
Whilst Locode gives you an entire Auto Management UI with all modifications performed through managed [AutoQuery APIs](/autoquery/), Database Admin instead focuses on providing a great readonly UX for querying & inspecting your App's data, starting with multiple views or quickly previewing every row in either **Pretty** JSON format:
Where it will also let you copy every row in JSON format, whilst the **Preview** tab shows a friendlier view of the row's fields:
The tabular grid is highly personalizable where it lets change the query preferences and display fields for each table, where they're persisted in localStorage and preserved across browser restarts:
Likewise so are the flexible filtering options allowing any number of filters per column:
The number and type of filters are readily available from the **Filters** dropdown showing all filters grouped under their column name where they're easily cleared per filter, column or using **Clear All** to clear all filters:
After you've finished customizing your table search view, you can export the data with the **Excel** button to download the results in [CSV Format](/csv-format) where it can be opened in your favorite spreadsheet, e.g:
Alternatively the **Copy URL** button can be used to generate the API data URL to return results in JSON:
## Database Admin Customizations
Some customizations is available on the `AdminDatabaseFeature` plugin where you can control the maximum size of resultsets returned and you can use the `DatabaseFilter` to control which databases and schemas are displayed as well as changing the labels shown by setting their `Alias` properties, e.g:
```csharp
Plugins.Add(new AdminDatabaseFeature {
QueryLimit = 100,
DatabasesFilter = dbs => {
foreach (var db in dbs)
{
if (db.Name == "main")
{
db.Alias = "Northwind";
db.Schemas[0].Alias = "Traders";
}
else if (db.Name == "chinook")
{
db.Alias = "Chinook";
db.Schemas[0].Alias = "Music";
}
}
},
});
```
