SQL Assistant
Top  Previous  Next


This area helps you to work with the DB Explorer window, displaying the additional information about the selected object or group of objects.

If you select a server on the Databases tab of the DB Explorer, the SQL Assistant displays the list of the registered databases, where those you are connected to, displayed in bold. Double-clicking the database alias in the SQL Assistant connects you to the database or disconnects you from it.

If you select a database in the DB Explorer, the SQL Assistant displays the list of the database object groups and a number of objects for each group. Selecting an object group in the DB Explorer displays the list of objects in the SQL Assistant. Double-clicking the object name in the SQL Assistant makes the object available for editing in the proper editor window. Right-clicking the object or group of objects (selected with the Ctrl or Shift buttons) allows you to edit or drop the selected objects.

Selecting a function in the DB Explorer displays its SQL code in the SQL Assistant.

What is displayed in SQL Assistant when a table is selected in DB Explorer depends on the position of the Tables' Details switch. It can be called via the View Mode | Tables' Details menu on the toolbar or via the popup menu of the SQL Assistant.
