Diagnostics | Prepare Introspector Diagnostics

Generate three files that include information about the following:

• dataSource.txt: the data source.

• introspector.txt: a module that was used to load the metadata from the database.

Data source nodes.

Diagnostics | Forget Cached Schemas

Delete the information that DataSpell has accumulated about your database. This action is available on the data source node only.

Use this command when you experience issues like wrong display of data structures or errors during synchronization.

To check if this has eliminated the problem, use the Synchronize command.

Group Data Sources

Displays folders for data sources if you created any.

Enabled	Disabled

Group Server and Database Objects

Displays folders for server and database objects. This setting concerns users, roles, tablespaces, modules, foreign data wrappers and other rarely-used objects.

Enabled	Disabled

Group Schema

Defines how schema elements are shown.

When on, there are separate nodes for tables, views and stored routines (shown as folders). Tables, views and routines (procedures and functions) are shown as elements of the corresponding groups.

When off, there is no explicit grouping for tables, views, and routines. Tables and views are followed by procedures and functions.

Group Contents

This option defines how table elements are shown.

When on, there are separate nodes for columns, indexes, primary and foreign key constraints, and triggers (shown as folders). The elements appear in the corresponding groups.

When off, there is no such grouping and, generally, only columns are shown for tables.

Show All Namespaces

Show all databases and schemes even if they are not selected for introspection.

When the Show All Namespaces option is disabled, databases that are not selected for introspection do not appear in the Database tool window.

When the Show All Namespaces option is enabled, databases that are not selected for introspection are displayed in the Database tool window.

Show Empty Groups

If the Database tool window or Database tool window options are selected, you can select to show or hide the categories that contain no elements.

The Show Empty Groups option is on:

The Show Empty Groups option is off:

Show Intermediate Nodes

Shows or hides parent nodes only when you do not have other objects on the same level with a parent.

Enabled	Disabled

Show Generated Objects

For Oracle, shows or hides auto-generated objects in the tree. It concerns the following objects:

• Materialized view logs

• The underlying tables for materialized views

• Secondary tables

Show Virtual Objects

Show or hides the following objects:

• Virtual foreign keys

• Virtual views

• Virtual columns

Separate Procedures and Functions

In Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL, separates procedures and functions into different folders.

Alphabetically

Order database objects alphabetically. When the option is disabled, natural sort order is applied.

Alphabetically is enabled	Alphabetically is disabled

Place Constraints and Similar Objects under Schema

Display nodes for object names that exist in a schema namespace. For example, nodes for keys, CHECK constraints, indexes, triggers, rules, and other objects.

You can use this option in the following situations:

• To find an object inside a schema with the help of a quick search.

• To see the columns just under the table node. To do this, turn off the Show Empty Groups.

Enabled	Disabled

Show Toolbar

Display the toolbar in the Database tool window.
