Table 3-1: Database painter views
View Description
Activity Log Displays the SQL syntax generated by the actions you
execute.
Columns Used to create and/or modify a table’s columns (formerly
done in the Table painter).
Extended Attributes Lists the display formats, edit styles, and validation rules
defined for the selected database connection.
Interactive SQL Used to build, execute or explain SQL. (In DataWindow
Designer 6 and earlier, some of this functionality was in the
Database Administration painter.)
Object Details Displays an object’s properties. For some objects, properties
are read-only; for others, properties can be modified. This
view is analogous to the Properties view in other painters.
Object Layout Displays a graphical representation of tables.
Objects Lists the database interfaces and profiles. For an active
database connection, might also list all or some of the
following objects associated with that database: groups,
metadata types, procedures and functions, tables, columns,
primary and foreign keys, indexes, users, views, driver
information, and utilities (the database components listed
depend on the database and your user privileges).
Results Displays data in a grid, table, or freeform format.
