Editing table properties
The Properties section allows you to view general table properties and also to modify the table name, the table owner, anda comment for the table.
Subitems
Every tab is intended for managing some table objects (e.g. fields, indexes). Each object can be opened in its editor. Use grid’s popup menu to create new, edit or drop the selected table object. Using the popup menu you can also copy the selected objects to clipboard or paste previously copied objects.
You can operate on several objects at a time. For this you have to select table objects with the Shift or the Ctrl key pressed. After a group of objects is selected you can operate on it, e.g. delete several objects at once, as if it were a single object.
See also: Field Editor, Foreign Key Editor, Check Properties, Trigger Editor, Default Constraint Properties, and Index Editor
Owner
You can view and modify the name of the table Owner.
By default, only the owner of an object can perform various operations with the object. In order to allow other users to operate it, privileges must be granted. (However, users that have the superuser attribute can always access any object.)
Comment
This field contains a comment to the table.
Create Date
Displays the date when the table was created.
Modify Date
Displays the date when the table was last modified.
File Group
Represents the file group on which the table is stored.
Text and Image File Group
Represents the text and image file group.
To apply the changes, select the Apply Changes item in the Navigation bar or use Ctrl+F9 or Ctrl+F7 shortcut keys.
It is also possible to modify object properties without opening the object editor: use the Object Properties item of the popup menu of the selected object from the explorer tree.
