### Browsing Database and Extracting Metadata from Database Tables

As you could see above (see Externalizing Internal Database Connections and Internalizing External (Shared) Database Connections), in both of these cases the context menu contains two interesting items: the Browse database and New metadata items. These give you the opportunity to browse a database (if your connection is valid) and/or extract metadata from some selected database table. Such metadata will be internal only, but you can later externalize and/or export them.

| Important
Remember that you can also create a database table directly from metadata. See Create Database Table from Metadata.
