# Explore - Tables Tab

The **Tables** tab inventories every SQL table referenced in the project. Architects and business analysts often use it to see which programs touch a shared table and how heavily each table is used.

### Table grid

Each row is one table. Typical information includes:

- Number of **fields** on the table
- Number of **modules** that interact with it

Search by table name to find a specific entity quickly.

### Table detail

Select a table to see how the codebase uses it. The layout mirrors module-centric views but centers the table:

- **Reads and writes** (and other actions) listed per **module**
- Which program performs each action—critical when many modules share one table
- **Fields** associated with the table, with links into the **Fields** tab

From a field or action row, you can open the **module** that performs the work or the **variable** that carries the data in COBOL.

### When to start on Tables vs Modules

| Start here if… | Reason |
| --- | --- |
| **Tables** tab | You know the data store (for example, `ACCT_MASTER`) and want all consumers |
| **Modules** tab | You know the program and want all tables it touches |

Both paths converge through cross-links and [Tracing data lineage in Explore](https://help.zengines.ai/en/help/tracing-data-lineage-in-explore?hsLang=en).
