# Admin Console: the Schema Tab

Tutorial·13 January 2016·3 min 40 sec

An overview of the Schema tab, where a connected database's structure is inspected and modified — the basis for everything DreamFactory generates. Part of the Admin Console series.

**Recorded in 2016.** The concepts still apply, but the interface shown predates the current DreamFactory release. The Admin Console has since been redesigned — see [Introducing the Redesigned DreamFactory Interface](https://www.dreamfactory.com/videos/new-admin-ui) for what changed.
