To open the Actions Menu for the selected cloud database, select the °°° (2) button. From the Actions Menu, select the Open in SAP HANA database explorer (3) option.

The SAP HANA database explorer Overview page (1) opens in a new tab and displays a navigation panel (2) and a SQL Console (3) window.
