Using Navigation bar and Toolbar


The Navigation bar and Toolbar provide quick access to tools implemented in SQL Variable Editor.

 

SQL Variable Editor - Using Navigation bar

 

 

The Navigation bar of SQL Variable Editor allows you to:

Object group

iconDB select a database

iconObjects_SQLVariable select a SQL variable for editing

 

General group

iconCompile compile the SQL variable (if it is being created/modified)

iconRefresh refresh the content of the active tab

iconPrint print metadata of the SQL variable

iconRestoreDefaultSize restore the default size and position of the editor window

 

Depending on the current tab selection, the Navigation bar expands to one or more additional panes with tab-specific actions that can be useful for working with the SQL variable:

Description group

iconSaveToFile save object description to file

iconLoadFromFile load description text from an external *.txt file

iconCopyToClipboard copy description to clipboard

 

DDL group

iconSaveToFile save DDL to file

iconTools_SQLEditor open DDL in SQL Editor

 

 

Items of the Navigation bar are also available on the ToolBar of SQL Variable Editor. To enable the toolbar, open the Environment Options dialog, proceed to the Windows section there and select RadioButton Toolbar (if you need the toolbar only) or RadioButton Both (if you need both the toolbar and the Navigation bar) in the Bar style for child forms group.
