Database objects management
SQL Manager 2008 for InterBase/Firebird provides powerful tools to manage database objects.
To obtain detailed information concerning InterBase/Firebird database objects, refer to the official documentation.
Note: before working with database objects in SQL Manager 2008 for InterBase/Firebird you should connect to the database first.
To create a database object:
- select the Database | New Object... main menu item;
- select the type of object within the New Object Dialog;
- follow the steps of the wizard which guides you through the entire process of creating the object, or set the object properties using its editor - depending on the selected object type.
Note that you can also create a database object by selecting the appropriate context menu item of the DB Explorer tree or using the Ctrl+N shortcut.
To drop a database object:
- select the database object in the DB Explorer tree;
- right-click the object to call its context menu and select the Drop <object type> <object name> context menu item;
- confirm dropping in the dialog window.
To edit a database object:

- right-click the object to call its context menu and select the Edit <object type> <object name> context menu item, or double-click the object to open it in its editor.
When using an object editor, you can benefit from tabs. To switch between tabs, click on their respective tabs at the top of the main window. You can do it at anytime since views are absolutely independent.
To compile a newly created or edited object, you can use the 
Compile item available within the Navigation bar of the object editor.
