The Navigation bar and Toolbar provide quick access to tools implemented in Table Editor.

 

 

 

The Navigation bar of Table Editor (in the Edit table mode) allows you to:

General

compile the table (if it is being modified)

save the table description (if it has been modified)

print metadata of the table

Tools

truncate data of the table (with the TRUNCATE TABLE statement used)

rebuild the dependent objects (for views only)

view the dependency tree for the table

create a procedure based on the table

 

Explorer

Depending on the current tab selection, the Navigation bar expands to one or more additional panes with tab-specific actions that can be useful for working with the table:

 

Columns

Items of the Navigation bar are also available on the ToolBar of Table Editor.
