## Query R2 Data Catalog tables with R2 SQL from the dashboard

Jul 08, 2026 

[ R2 SQL ](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/r2-sql/) 

You can now query your [R2 Data Catalog](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/r2/data-catalog/) tables with [R2 SQL](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/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 ↗](https://iceberg.apache.org/) data, validate queries, and inspect results in one place.

![R2 SQL Query Editor](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/_astro/r2-sql-studio.DCmHJaqy_Z1PiDx0.webp) 

To get started, go to [R2 Data Catalog ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/data-catalog/overview) 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.
