Browsing Structures

Databases consist tables, views and stored procedures, each of which represents a list of columns:

New nodes that appear under a connection when it is live represent tables, views, and procedures.

To browse a table:

  1. Click the table node.
  2. Expand the table node to see the table's columns and an index's node, showing all indexes defined for a given table. The table node has a list of columns and an indexes folder. The indexes folder contains a list of indexes created on the table. The table node also contains a list of foreign key nodes based on the table's foreign constraints. The foreign key node describes foreign key columns that reference a table's primary key.
    Refer to the table for a description of icons related to tables and their iconic representation.
