Create and delete

Create a table

1. In the Database tool window, select a schema and navigate to File | New | Table. Alternatively, right-click the schema or database node and select New | Table.

2. In the Create dialog, specify table settings (columns, keys, indexes, foreign keys, grants).

   

3. Click OK.

Delete a table

• To delete a table, right-click the table and select DROP (Delete).

  You can set additional options for the code that is generated in the SQL Preview field:

  1. Qualify objects with schema names: adds a schema name to the table name. You can qualify a table when you have two and more tables with identical names in different schemes. This option has the following parameters:

     • Auto: automatically qualifies table names if you have more than two identical table names in different schemes.

     • Never: never qualifies table names.

     • Always: always qualifies table names.

  2. Use IF EXISTS syntax: ensures that the table exists.

  3. Use DROP CASCADE syntax: deletes objects that depend on the table (such as views).
