Connection and Database Explorer


The dockable Connections pane lists all previously saved database connection definitions. Once a connection to a database is established, that connection as displayed within the tree becomes the root node for the exploration of that database.

Following creation of a new database connection (see Creating a New Connection) branches are loaded using the database meta data available through the JDBC driver displaying the following:

  • Catalogs and Schemas
  • Database Objects
    • Functions and Procedures
    • Indexes
    • Sequences
    • Synonyms
    • System Tables
    • Triggers
    • Views
    • Tables
    • Table Columns

Where the catalog or schema is the connected data source, objects may be viewed and modified in greater detail.

Specific aspects of the database browser are covered in greater detail within the sections below:
