Adding tables to the database panel

To add a table to the Database panel, use one of the following methods:

  • Right-click on the table in the list and select Add.

    The table will be added to the top left of the currently visible portion of the panel.

  • Drag the table from the list onto the panel and release the mouse button.

Various symbols appear on the display of a table in the panel:

symbolizes that the fields form a key. Two keys in a single column indicates a compound key. A gray key pointing left indicates an unconfirmed key suggested by the database. A yellow key pointing right indicates the key is confirmed.

symbolizes that the field is part of an index.

Note: You cannot add the same table to the database panel twice because this may cause integrity problems. However, when defining types, you can use the same table multiple times in a single type structure.
