Opening Tables with the Catalog Browser

You can use the Catalog Browser to open a table for viewing or editing.

To examine and open tables from the Catalog Browser:

  1. Access the Catalog Browser dialog box, then click the Table tab. Notice the list of locations, each preceded by a + button.
  2. Click a Location's + button to display a list of AuthIDs. Each AuthID is preceded by a + button.

    Notice that as you click each + button, SQLWizard displays a list of the sub-items for that object, and replaces the + button with a - button. Click the + button to expand an object list and the - button to collapse the list. If no button appears next to an item, no sub-items are available.

  3. Click the + button preceding an AuthID. SQLWizard displays the Tables/Views/Synonyms/Aliases objects.
  4. Click the + button in front of Tables to see a list of the tables.
  5. Click the + button preceding a table. SQLWizard displays a list of columns in the table. The Catalog Browser lets you view the column names in your table without displaying the table. Click the - button to remove the columns from the Catalog Browser display.
  6. Click a table name to highlight it.
  7. Click the Open button, or click and drag the table's name to the SQLWizard desktop.

    SQLWizard displays the table in a Result window.

  8. Close the Result window using the Close command from the File menu, or double click the Control Menu box in the upper left corner of the window.
