Data editor

, , ,

Use navigation icons and corresponding commands for switching between pages that show the table data.

A number of rows that you see on the Result tab are referred to as a result set page. If this number is less than the number of rows in the table, only a subset of all the rows is shown at a time. If all the rows are currently shown, navigation icons and the corresponding commands are inactive. You can see the limit between the navigation buttons. You can change it here by clicking and selecting the necessary limit or in settings.

• : jump to the first page of results.

• : go to the previous page of results.

• : go to the next page of results.

• : jump to the last page of results.

To change the size of a result set page, open settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) and navigate to Tools | Database | Data Editor and Viewer. In the Limit page size to field, type a new size of a result set page. Alternatively, to disable the page size restriction, clear the Limit page size to checkbox.

Copy to Database

Copy the data to another table, schema or database. Select the target schema (a new table will be created) or table (the data will be added to the selected table). In the dialog that opens, specify the data mapping info and the settings for the target table.

Show Options Menu

The Show Options Menu list includes the following options:

• Show Geo Viewer: enable a graphic viewer to explore geospatial data in your database.

• Sort via ORDER BY: sort data on a database level. The Sort via ORDER BY option is available only for tables in the data editor but not for table result sets in the Services tool window.

  If the Sort via ORDER BY option is on, data for the whole table is sorted according to the corresponding database system. In the Output tab, you can see all the corresponding sorting operations.

  

  Do not turn this option on if you want to keep interactions with the database to a minimum. For example, when the table is large or the database connection is slow. If you want to use sorting on the client side, clear the Sort via ORDER BY checkbox.

  If this option is off, the data is sorted locally and only for the rows that are currently shown.

  

  You can define which sorting method to use as the default for tables. You can select between Sort via ORDER BY or client-side. The client-side sorting does not run any new queries and sorts only the current page.

  To configure the settings, open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S and navigate to Database | Data Editor and Viewer. In the Sorting section, select or clear the Sort via ORDER BY checkbox. When this option is on, data for the whole table is sorted according to the corresponding database system.
