# Show dependencies

Expands the connection to display the list of all dependencies across the platform, including transformations and jobs.

To show the dependencies for a database connection, complete the following steps:

1. With a transformation or job open, on the left side of the Pipeline Designer interface, click the **View** icon. The **View** pane opens with the Transformations folder expanded, containing the **Database Connections** list.
2. Expand **Database Connections**, find the database connection you want to explore, and click the **More Actions** icon. 
3. Select **Show dependencies**. The database connection is expanded to show the transformations and jobs that depend on that connection.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pipeline-designer/managing-transformations-and-jobs/manage-connections-for-transformations-and-jobs/show-dependencies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
