Viewing and Modifying Data in a Database Table

See Also

When a database is connected, you can view and modify the data contained in a table in the built-in graphical representation of the SQL Editor.

To view data in a table:

  1. In the Services window, expand the node for a connected database ( Database Connection node ).
  2. Expand the Tables or Views node.
  3. Right-click the node of the table or view and choose View Data.

When you choose View Data, an SQL query to select all the data from the table is automatically generated in the upper pane of the SQL Editor. A visual representation of the table and the data it contains is displayed in the lower pane of the SQL Editor.

You can use this GUI representation of the table to add, modify, and delete table data, for example:

If the displayed data needs to be resynchronized with the actual database, you can click the Refresh Records ( Refresh Records button ) button.

For more on using the SQL Editor, see Executing SQL Statements and Scripts.
