Libraries
A Library is a schema object associated with an operating system shared library.
To create a new library:
- select the Database | New Object... main menu item;
- select Library in the Create New Object dialog;
- define library properties using the appropriate tabs of Library Editor.
Hint: To create a new library, you can also right-click the Libraries node or any object within this node in the DB Explorer tree and select the New Library item from the context menu.
To create a new library with the same properties as one of existing libraries has:
- select the Database | Duplicate Object... main menu item;
- follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.
Alternatively, you can right-click a library in the DB Explorer tree and select the Duplicate Library <library_name>... context menu item.
Duplicate Object Wizard allows you to select the database to create a new library in, and to edit the result SQL statement for creating the library.
To edit an existing library:
- select the library for editing in the DB Explorer tree (type the first letters of the library name for quick search);
- right-click the object and select the Edit Library <library_name> context menu item, or simply double-click the library;
- edit library properties using the appropriate tabs of Library Editor.
To drop a library:
- select the library to drop in the DB Explorer tree;
- right-click the object and select the Drop Library <library_name>... context menu item;
- confirm dropping in the dialog window.
Note: If more convenient, you can also use the following shortcuts:
Ctrl+N to create a new library;
Ctrl+O to edit the selected library;
Shift+Del to drop the object from the database.
