-description: Query CSV and JSON files, spreadsheet exports, and live databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or anything with a JDBC driver JAR) as one SQL surface; join across them; save a query as a named view so it can be rerun without re-pasting the SQL; then drive a collection run one iteration per row — feeding it the rows a query returns instead of a hardcoded data file — or read rows from scripts via `pm.datasets()`. Use when the user wants to run or loop a collection over rows of test data, parameterize a run from a CSV or spreadsheet or database table, query or join data across files and tables, save or rerun a query without pasting it again, use a query's result rows as the input for a run in place of hardcoded JSON or a data file, point Postman at a JDBC driver, work out where database credentials get stored, or names a Postman dataset or view. Covers `postman dataset` (`source`, `view`, `query`, `jdbc`) and `--iteration-data-dataset`/`--iteration-data-view`/`--dataset` on `collection run`.
+description: Use when a collection needs queried or joined test inputs, a reusable named view, spreadsheet worksheet data, live database rows, or script access through pm.datasets(). Chooses between a simple iteration file and a dataset while preserving query semantics, portability, and credential boundaries. Use for requests such as "run this collection over database rows".

 # Datasets
 
-## Required CLI version
-
-This skill documents the dataset commands as they behave **after**
-postman-cli#1323 (AUTO-987, the spurious `No authorization data found`
-notice) and postman-cli#1340 (AUTO-999/AUTO-998, one datasource per
-worksheet plus the help-text fixes). Both are needed; 1.62.0 has neither.
-Check with `postman --version` before trusting the worksheet and
-auth-notice rules below, and on an older CLI expect `source add --file
-book.xlsx` to add a workbook as a single unqueryable source (in a cloud
-dataset too), `source update --file book.xlsx` to be accepted and rewrite the
-source to `format: csv`, and every logged-out `--iteration-data-dataset` run
-to print the notice.
-
-## Overview
-
-A dataset is a Postman entity that names one or more *datasources* and
-presents them as SQL tables. It lives either in a Postman workspace or in the
-repository, and the same commands work on both — with one carve-out, a
-spreadsheet source, covered below. It is not a data file — it is
-a layer over data files and databases, and the value is in that layer:
-heterogeneous
-sources (a CSV and a Postgres table) become joinable in one query, and a
-saved *view* turns a query into a named, reusable result set that a
-collection run can iterate.
-
-Local and cloud are the same commands. Every verb that acts on an *existing*
-dataset — `get`, `query`, `delete`, and every `source` and `view`
-subcommand — takes either a `.dataset.yaml` path or a cloud dataset id and
-routes accordingly. Two verbs name a location instead of an existing
-dataset: `list` takes a path or directory (its cloud form is
-`-w <workspaceId>`), and `create` takes the path to write (its cloud form is
-`-w` with no path, since the id does not exist yet). `jdbc inspect` takes
-neither — it reads a driver JAR and touches no dataset at all.
-
-There is no `dataset push` verb — but that does not mean local and cloud are
-sealed off from each other. Datasets are a workspace entity, so
-`postman workspace push` syncs them to the bound workspace along with
-collections, environments and the rest, and `postman workspace pull` brings
-them back down. Reach for those when the whole repo should move; the
-`dataset` verbs below are for working on one dataset in place.
-
-## Core knowledge
-
-- **Datasets are the current way to drive a run from data.** They supersede
-  passing a flat file with `-d`/`--iteration-data`: a dataset gives the same
-  row-per-iteration behaviour, and on top of it SQL to filter and shape rows,
-  joins across several sources, a live database instead of an export, named
-  views that can be rerun, and `pm.datasets()` access from scripts. Reach for
-  a dataset by default when someone wants to run a collection over rows of
-  data; `-d` remains available for a one-off file and stays the lighter option
-  when nothing more is wanted.
-
-- **A spreadsheet becomes one source per worksheet, not one source — and
-  only in a local dataset.** The engine reads Excel and OpenDocument
-  workbooks (`xlsx`, `xls`, `ods`) as well as CSV and JSON, and
-  `source add --file book.xlsx` enumerates the sheets and adds each as its own
-  datasource — matching what the Postman app does. There is no flag for
-  picking a sheet, by design. Three boundaries come before anything else:
-
-  - **Local datasets only.** Adding a workbook to a *cloud* dataset is
-    refused with `SPREADSHEET_CLOUD_UNSUPPORTED`, with or without `--upload`:
-    a cloud add posts one datasource with no worksheet selector and the cloud
-    service is never handed the bytes to fan the workbook out itself, so it
-    would persist exactly the unqueryable source the local path exists to
-    prevent. CSV and JSON work on both. This is the carve-out to
-    "local and cloud are the same commands" — put the workbook in a local
-    `.dataset.yaml`.
-  - **`xlsx`, `xls` and `ods` only.** `.xlsm`, `.xlsb` and `.numbers` are
-    unmistakably workbooks that the engine cannot read, so extension
-    inference refuses them with `WORKBOOK_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED` rather than
-    letting them fall through to the `csv` default and write a source that
-    fails every query. Re-save as `.xlsx`, or pass `--format csv` only if the
-    file really is delimited text.
-  - **`-n` is optional for a workbook, and ignored.** It is required for
-    every other source kind, but worksheet sources are named after their
-    sheets, so a `-n` passed here changes nothing and earns a
-    `NAME_UNUSED_FOR_SPREADSHEET` warning.
-
-  Each source is named `source_<sheet>`, with anything outside
-  `[a-zA-Z0-9_]` replaced by `_`, and `_2`/`_3` appended on collision —
-  collision being judged on the engine's *table* key rather than on the
-  literal name, so two sheets that normalise onto one table are given
-  distinct names instead of registering one table twice and failing every
-  query on the dataset. A workbook with People, Orders and "Sales Q3 2026"
-  therefore gives `source_People`, `source_Orders` and
-  `source_Sales_Q3_2026`. The `-n` you passed does **not** appear in them —
-  the scheme matches the Postman app (and DCS server-side), so a workbook
-  added from the CLI and the same one added from the app produce identical
-  source names and survive a push/pull round trip.
-
-  Those are *source* names, and a source name is not always a table name.
-  **Take the queryable name from the command's own output instead of deriving
-  it.** `source add` prints a line per sheet —
-  `"source_People" (id: …) from worksheet "People"` — and appends
-  `, queryable as "<table>"` whenever the table differs, so a `売上` sheet is
-  reported as `source___`, queryable as `source`, and `FROM source` is the
-  query. Under `--json` the same thing arrives as `sources[]`, one
-  `{id, name, worksheet, table}` entry per worksheet and present for every
-  workbook add however many sheets it found; `table` is the field a `FROM`
-  clause takes. Still don't copy `name` into a `FROM` clause verbatim, and
-  note that a `source_` prefix is correct here and wrong for a source you
-  named yourself, so do not carry the habit across.
-
-  **`source update` cannot make a worksheet source, and now refuses to try.**
-  Both halves are hard refusals with a code, and nothing is written:
-  `--file <workbook>` fails `SPREADSHEET_FILE_NOT_UPDATABLE` (`.xlsm`,
-  `.xlsb` and `.numbers` included) and `--format xlsx|xls|ods` fails
-  `SPREADSHEET_FORMAT_NOT_UPDATABLE`, because the command patches `format`
-  and `location` field-wise and has no way to pin a worksheet. What is still
-  *allowed* and still destructive is `update --file other.csv` on a source
-  that already has a worksheet: that patch carries no `source_options`, so
-  the stale `spreadsheet.worksheet` selector stays pinned to a file with no
-  worksheets and the source stops being queryable (AUTO-1000). Remove the
-  source and re-add the workbook with `source add`.
-
-- **`--format` is not validated.** Its help text lists the real formats, but
-  the flag accepts any string and writes it straight into the manifest, so a
-  typo becomes a source that fails only later at query time. Pass it only to
-  override inference deliberately; otherwise let the file extension speak.
-- **A datasource's table name is its `name` *normalised*, not its `name`.**
-  Before exposing a source as a table the engine lowercases the name,
-  collapses every run of `_` to a single `_`, and strips leading and trailing
-  `_`. So `-n users` really is `FROM users`, but `-n Sales__Q3_` is
-  `FROM sales_q3` — and `FROM Sales__Q3_`, the name you passed and the name
-  the CLI echoes back, fails `SQL_UNKNOWN_TABLE`. Case alone is safe (SQL
-  identifiers are case-insensitive, so `FROM MixedCase` still finds
-  `mixedcase`); underscore runs and edge underscores are not. Keep source
-  names already-normalised and the two can never diverge. A workbook add
-  reports each sheet's table itself (`queryable as …`, or `sources[].table`
-  under `--json`); for anything else, on the federated path
-  `SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'` lists the real ones.
-  **The CLI's own `-h` examples say `FROM source_users`, and they are
-  wrong** — there is no `source_` prefixing for a source you named
-  yourself, and `source_users` fails `SQL_UNKNOWN_TABLE`. Trust the normalised source
-  name, not the example text.
-- **Federated vs native is the central query decision.** With no `--source`,
-  the query runs through a federated SQLite layer that can join across every
-  *federatable* source in the dataset — which is all of them except JDBC, per
-  the next rule. With `--source <name>`, it is sent to that one
-  datasource in *its own SQL dialect* — which is the only thing that works
-  for JDBC sources, and what you want for dialect-specific SQL
-  (`now() - interval '1 day'`). `dataset query -s` and
-  `dataset view create -s` take the same reference. They are different
-  execution paths, not fallbacks for each other — adding or dropping
-  `--source` to make a failing query work changes what the query *means*.
-- **JDBC is the one source type that cannot federate.** A native
-  `--type mysql|postgresql|sqlserver` source *does* join against a CSV in one
-  federated query, which is the main reason to build a mixed dataset. A
-  `--type jdbc` source does not appear in the federated layer at all: query
-  it without `--source` and it fails `SQL_UNKNOWN_TABLE`, exactly as a
-  misspelled table would. So a JDBC source cannot be joined to anything —
-  if you need that join, add the database as its native type instead.
-- **Local does not mean free, and the plan gate keys off source type, not
-  dataset location.** CSV/JSON sources run fully offline, logged out. Any
-  *database* source — including one inside a purely local YAML — forces
-  authentication and an entitlement check: MySQL and PostgreSQL need a paid
-  plan, and **JDBC and SQL Server need Enterprise**
-  (`… data sources require an Enterprise plan.`, HTTP 402).
-- **A view's result set is iteration data.** `collection run
-  --iteration-data-dataset <pathOrId> --iteration-data-view <nameOrId>`
-  runs one iteration per row, with each column bound as a variable
-  (`{{name}}`). Both flags are required together, and the pair is mutually
-  exclusive with `-d/--iteration-data`.
-- **On a dataset run, `No authorization data found` means a source really
-  does need auth.** A file-backed dataset needs none, and a logged-out run
-  over one is silent. So if that line appears on an
-  `--iteration-data-dataset` run, read it as signal: a **database** source is
-  in play — `jdbc`, `mysql`, `postgres`/`postgresql` or `sqlserver`, and a
-  `postmancloudfile` source is *not* one of those and does not trigger it —
-  or you passed a cloud dataset id or a cloud collection, or the manifest
-  could not be read, those last three all landing on the same fail-closed
-  branch. What it is *not* is a verdict on the run — a plain
-  `collection run` with no dataset flags still prints it whenever you are
-  logged out, because it comes from the run command rather than anything
-  dataset-related.
-- **`--dataset <pathOrDir>` is the other consumption path** — repeatable,
-  and it exposes datasets to scripts as `pm.datasets(<id>)` rather than
-  driving iterations. Resolution is lazy: a run that never calls
-  `pm.datasets` parses nothing and needs no auth. An unparseable YAML is
-  skipped with a `[pm.datasets] skipped …` warning, not a failed run — so a
-  silently absent dataset looks like a script bug.
-- **Query parameters are positional.** `$1, $2` in the SQL, `-p` values in
-  order. Views can be parameterized too, but a parameterized view **cannot**
-  drive iteration data — `collection run` has nowhere to pass `-p`, and it
-  fails as an opaque execution error. Keep iteration views parameter-free.
-- **Dataset commands never touch `.postman/resources.yaml`.** Unlike mocks,
-  there is no repo-level registry entry to commit or clean up — the
-  `.dataset.yaml` and its `data_dir` are the whole artifact.
-- **`data_dir` is not only your data.** The local engine writes its own state
-  in there next to the copied files — `data.db`, `meta.db`, `daemon.log`,
-  `config/`, and a uuid-named directory. Commit the manifest and the source
-  files; ignore the rest, or the repo starts carrying a query cache and a log.
-  `daemon.log` is also the first place to look when the engine itself, rather
-  than a query, is what failed.
-
-## Process
-
-1. **Scaffold.** `postman dataset create ./postman/datasets/NAME/NAME.dataset.yaml
-   --name "NAME"` writes a four-line manifest with a generated id and
-   `data_dir: .resources`. The cloud form is `create --name "NAME" -w <workspaceId>`
-   with no path.
-2. **Attach sources.** `postman dataset source add -d <dataset> -n <table>
-   --file ./users.csv` **copies** the file into `data_dir` — pass
-   `--ref-only` to reference it in place instead — but note it records an
-   **absolute** path, so a `--ref-only` dataset is machine-local and does not
-   survive being committed and cloned elsewhere. Extensions
-   pick the format only when `--format` is absent; contents are never
-   sniffed, so a `.txt` holding JSON needs `--format json`. For a cloud
-   dataset, `--file` alone registers a *local-filesystem* source read by the
-   local engine; `--upload` is what actually puts the data in the cloud.
-   Either way a cloud dataset takes csv and json only — a workbook is refused
-   there.
-3. **For a *JDBC* source, start from `jdbc inspect`.**
-   `postman dataset jdbc inspect ./drivers/pg.jar` maps straight onto the
-   `source add` flags: `suggestedUrlTemplate` → `--url-template`,
-   `templateVariables` → `--var`, `connectionProperties` → `--prop`,
-   `driverClass` → `--driver-class`. A second source on the same database
-   reuses all of it with `--from-source <name>`. A connection test runs
-   before the write, so a JDBC source that cannot connect is never persisted
-   (`--no-test` opts out). A native `--type mysql|postgresql|sqlserver`
-   source needs none of this — no driver JAR, no inspect step, just
-   `--host/--port/--database/--user/--password` — and it is **not**
-   connection-tested before the write, so run `source test` yourself after
-   adding one.
-4. **Explore with ad-hoc SQL before saving anything.**
-   `postman dataset query <dataset> -q "SELECT …"`. Get the query right
-   here — a view is just a query you have already proven.
-5. **Save the query as a view.** `postman dataset view create -d <dataset>
-   -n "Active" -q "SELECT …"`, then `view run "Active" -d <dataset>` to
-   confirm the rows. This is the step that makes the dataset usable by a
-   run.
-6. **Drive the run.** `postman collection run <collection>
-   --iteration-data-dataset <dataset> --iteration-data-view "Active"`.
-   Confirm the iteration count matches the row count — that is the only
-   proof the wiring works.
-
-## Critical rules
-
-1. **Secrets are only avoidable on the JDBC path, and that decides which
-   source type to use.** A credential passed as a **literal** lands in three
-   places: `ps` output, shell history, **and clear text in the dataset YAML**
-   (or the cloud request body). The CLI warns about exactly those three, and
-   only for literals. What differs by source type is whether there is an
-   alternative:
-   - **JDBC (`--var`, `--prop`): yes, and it avoids all three.**
-     `--var name=vault:<vaultId>/<secretId>` stores a `{$vaultId,$secretId}`
-     pointer and resolves it at query time, so the secret itself reaches none
-     of the three — only the reference travels through argv. `--vars-file`
-     reads the same values from a JSON file and `--vars-file -` from stdin,
-     which is the one way to keep a value out of `ps` and shell history; it
-     accepts vault refs too, and a *literal* passed that way still lands in
-     the YAML in clear text. Local Vault secrets are not supported — Shared
-     Vault only. A literal secret in `--url-template` is rejected outright: a
-     literal has no `{{name}}` to route through `--var`, so nothing could
-     mask it.
-   - **Native `--type mysql|postgresql|sqlserver` (`--user`, `--password`):
-     no.** The CLI says so on every write —
-     `Secret references for database credentials are not yet supported by
-     Postman CLI.` There is no vault form of these flags. The credentials
-     land in the YAML in clear text or the source does not exist.
-
-   So when credentials must not sit in a committed file, reach for
-   `--type jdbc` with Vault refs rather than the native type for the same
-   database. Otherwise treat that YAML as a secret-bearing file and keep it
-   out of version control.
-2. **"The dataset operation failed with a server error. Please retry." is
-   usually not a server error and retrying will not help.** It is the
-   generic wrapper over engine errors, including your SQL being wrong.
-   Re-run with `--debug` to get the real code — `engineCode=SQL_UNKNOWN_TABLE`
-   for a bad table name, and so on. Read that before changing anything.
-3. **When a query fails, isolate the layer with
-   `postman dataset source test -d <dataset> -n <source>`.** It opens and
-   closes a real connection using the stored config, resolving Vault
-   references the way a query would, which separates "the source is broken"
-   from "the SQL is wrong". File and URL sources have no connection and
-   report `SOURCE_NOT_TESTABLE` — that is the expected answer, not a fault.
-4. **`--dataset` on a cloud collection does not scope access.** A script can
-   call `pm.datasets(<anyId>)` for any dataset the logged-in session can
-   read. Only run collections you trust against a logged-in cloud session.
-5. **`dataset delete` is permanent and deliberately asymmetric** — it
-   removes the manifest but preserves the source files, because references
-   can cross directory boundaries. An empty `data_dir` is removed unless
-   `--keep-resources` is passed. Confirm before running it on a cloud id,
-   where there is no file left behind to recover from.
-6. **Pass `--json` when parsing.** Both success and failure go to stdout, so
-   `--json 2>/dev/null | jq .` works either way, and failures carry a stable
-   `error.code` (`CONNECTION_FAILED`, `DRIVER_CLASS_AMBIGUOUS`,
-   `CONFIG_VALUE_MISSING`, …) plus `remediation`. Branch on the code, never
-   on the prose.
-
-## Anti-patterns
-
-- **Don't add a database source to make a demo "more realistic."** It
-  converts a zero-setup offline dataset into one that needs login, a paid
-  plan, network reachability, and (for JDBC/SQL Server) Enterprise. Use CSV
-  unless the live data is the point.
-- **Don't run `postman dataset list` with no arguments** expecting the local
-  datasets. Bare `list` is the *cloud* form and errors without `-w` outside
-  a Postman-managed project; pass a path or directory for local ones.
-- **Don't hand-edit `.dataset.yaml` to add a source.** `source add` runs the
-  connection test (JDBC), id generation, and secret validation that a
-  hand-edited entry skips — and the resolver re-inspects every YAML
-  precisely so a hand-edited file cannot bypass the source gate.
+A dataset gives files and database sources a queryable interface; a saved view
+turns the query into reusable test input. That is useful when filtering,
+joining, or refreshing rows is part of the test. A one-off CSV/JSON run can
+stay with `collection run -d`; a dataset should earn its extra configuration.
+
+## Choose the data and execution path
+
+1. Prefer local file sources for reproducible fixtures. A live database is
+   useful when current data is the point, but adds authentication, entitlement,
+   network, and credential requirements even in a local `.dataset.yaml`.
+   Check `postman dataset <action> -h` and the actual source capability before
+   promising a workflow; source support can vary with the installed CLI.
+2. Use the default federated SQLite query path to join supported sources.
+   `--source <name>` instead sends SQL to one source in its native dialect.
+   Switching modes to silence a SQL error changes query semantics. JDBC
+   requires the native path and cannot join in the federated layer; native
+   database connectors can support federation.
+3. Choose credentials before choosing a database connector. JDBC variables
+   and properties accept shared-vault references such as
+   `vault:<vaultId>/<secretId>`, resolved at query time. Native database
+   credentials are stored literally in dataset configuration on the documented
+   CLI surface; inspect current support before use, and keep secret-bearing
+   configuration out of Git. Literal values passed through stdin avoid argv
+   exposure but can still be persisted in YAML. See **variables** for vault
+   handling. A connector that enables a join may have a worse credential
+   boundary than JDBC; do not hide that tradeoff.
+4. Choose iteration or script access deliberately. The paired
+   `--iteration-data-dataset <path-or-id>` and
+   `--iteration-data-view <name-or-id>` flags feed one row per collection
+   iteration, with columns exposed as variables. They exclude `-d` and require
+   a parameter-free view because the runner has no query-parameter input.
+   Repeatable `--dataset <path-or-dir>` instead exposes `pm.datasets()` to
+   scripts; it does not itself create row-driven iterations.
+
+## Build a portable, queryable artifact
+
+Create a local manifest with `postman dataset create <path.dataset.yaml>
+--name <name>`, then attach sources with `dataset source add`. Source commands
+supply IDs and validation that hand-written entries can miss. Existing-dataset
+commands accept a local path or workspace ID; `list` needs a local path for
+local discovery, while workspace create/list use `--workspace`.
+
+File sources are copied into `data_dir` unless `--ref-only` is used. That option
+records absolute paths and makes the dataset machine-specific. For a workspace
+dataset, adding `--file` alone registers a local filesystem source; `--upload`
+is what uploads bytes. Use **bootstrap**'s workspace sync when publishing the
+whole project; there is no separate `dataset push`.
+
+For spreadsheet sources, use the worksheet-aware guidance in
+[Spreadsheet sources](reference/spreadsheets.md). For ordinary source names,
+prefer normalized identifiers: table names lowercase, collapse repeated
+underscores, and strip edge underscores. A source called `users` is queried
+as `users`, not `source_users`. Verify actual tables before interpreting an
+unknown-table error as missing data.
+
+For JDBC, `dataset jdbc inspect <driver.jar>` supplies driver class, URL
+template, variables, and properties for `source add`; `--from-source` can reuse
+a connection. JDBC addition tests connectivity unless disabled; native source
+addition needs a separate `dataset source test`. This distinction prevents
+mistaking a saved source for a working connection.
+
+Prove the query with `dataset query` before saving it with `dataset view create`,
+then run the view. Query parameters are positional (`$1`, `$2`, with `-p`
+values in order). Commit the manifest and intended source files; keep engine
+state such as `data.db`, `meta.db`, `daemon.log`, and caches out of the repo.
+Dataset commands do not create a `.postman/resources.yaml` registry entry.
+Deletion removes the manifest but preserves source files that may be shared.
+Deleting a workspace dataset is permanent; establish that intent rather than
+treating deletion as a way to repair a query.
+
+## Interpret failures and results
+
+A generic server-error wrapper can hide SQL or connection errors. Use structured
+`--json` errors and their remediation, or `--debug` when necessary, to identify
+the layer before retrying. `source test` separates database connectivity from
+SQL errors; file/URL sources have no connection to test. Engine startup failures
+may need `data_dir`'s daemon log rather than a different query.
+
+Script dataset access is lazy, and invalid YAML can be skipped with a warning
+rather than failing the run. On a hosted collection, `--dataset` is not an
+access-control boundary: scripts can access other datasets readable by the
+session. Inspect the collection's data access before running untrusted scripts
+with that session.
 
 ## Verification
 
-A dataset is not working because `create` and `source add` exited 0 — those
-prove only that the write went through: a manifest locally, a workspace
-entity in the cloud, and on the JDBC path a connection that opened, unless
-`--no-test` skipped that test. None of it proves a query returns rows. Run an actual query and state
-the row count and columns you got back. For a run, state the iteration count
-and confirm it equals the view's row count; three rows producing one
-iteration means the view, not the collection, is what to look at. Say which
-execution path ran (federated or `--source` native) and whether the dataset
-was local or cloud — that determines whether the numbers reflect live data
-or a copied snapshot in `data_dir`.
+Report the queried columns and row count, local/workspace location, live versus
+copied sources, and federated versus native execution. For iteration runs,
+compare the actual iteration count with the intended view rows and configured
+limits. Matching counts establishes wiring, not that the data covers every
+behavior the test needs. Creating a manifest alone proves neither.
