Forms: Table
A Table is a reference to an external database table object.
Form: Table Details List
There are two forms of the Table list:
- Detailed list - Shows the table name plus other (database specific) details
- Simple list - Just shows the table names
In both cases the lists show all the tables for the parent Datasource that the user defined in the Datasource Instance has permission to view.
The list below gives the column headers returned for an Oracle database.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| OWNER | The Schema Owner |
| TABLENAME | The name of the table. |
| TABLESPACE | The Oracle tablespace configured for the table. |
| NUMROWS | Approximate number of rows in this table. Note that this information is based on stats data collected by Oracle and may or may not be up to date. |
Table Actions
The following actions are possible from a Table list:
- Double clicking on a Table entry pops up a Data Grid showing the first page of data returned from the table.
- Dragging a table and dropping it on a modelling pane creates a Database Collector which is linked to the original Datasource. The Collector will be set up to fetch all the table fields and all the table data.
- From the right-click context menu you can choose to view the table attributes (a simple or detailed list). See Table Attributes.
