Creating Columns


Columns can be added and edited using the following procedures.

Add a Column to a Table:

In Database Explorer, select the table node in the node tree to which you want to add a column.

A grid showing the table's columns will appear in the lower right.

Click the Add Column button.


Complete the dialog box that appears and click Ok. For help on this dialog box see the links below.

Editing a Column:

In the Database Explorer window, select the tree node representing the table containing the column to edit.

A grid of this table's columns will be shown in the lower right of the application.

You can type directly into this grid to modify column properties that are not grayed out or disabled.

Double clicking a row in this grid allows modification of the column through a dialog box and modification of grayed out properties.

Columns can be removed by selecting the appropriate row(s) in the grid and clicking the Remove Column button.
