Explaining user interface
The SQL Maestro Group products are famous for their clear and intuitive user interface. The programs are built around the three-pane workspace that includes the database explorer and child windows consisting of the navigation bar and work area.
This topic provides a brief guide to the components of Oracle Code Factory's user interface. For detailed descriptions, see below.
Database Explorer
The Database Explorer field occupies the left side of Oracle Code Factory main window. It represents all the connected databases objects including system objects.
The explorer provides the fastest way to reach the object SQL definitions
Editors and Viewers
According to the MDI style implementation the Oracle Code Factory tools and editors are opened in appropriate windows. Each window consists of a navigation bar and work area. The software supports Classic and Tabbed MDI.

Navigation bar
The Navigation Bar contains a set of logically grouped links provided to realize the corresponding actions. Just position the mouse over a link and wait for a second to display the appropriate action shortcut making it possible for experienced users to control the program almost entirely with the keyboard. You can find several shortcuts.
Toolbars
The bars occupy the top of the main window. The Toolbars provide quick access to the most frequently-used functions. Just position the mouse over a tool and wait for a second to display a brief text describing what it is for.
