Previewing Table Data from the Table Form

  1. In the Catalog Explorer, double-click the Table Definitions node.

    The catalog's table definitions are displayed.

  2. Double-click the required table definition.

    The table definition is displayed.

  3. Click (Preview Table Data).

    The <table-name> data tab is displayed showing a preview of how the table would look in an ODBC-enabled application.

  4. Use the following tools to further manipulate the display:
    • Max Rows - the maximum number of rows shown in the table preview. (You can set this default in the Tools > Options > General menu.)
    • Max Errors - the maximum number of errors encountered before the preview stops showing more rows (up to the Max Rows value).
    • Filter on Column - show only records that contain a specific value in a particular column: select the column in the drop list, then in the Filter string field type the string on which to filter.
    • Query Builder - a GUI tool used to define SQL queries for the preview; see Using the Query Builder for more information.
  5. To exit the preview, click on the <table-name> data tab.
