Selecting a Schema

Each time you open a new Query window, Submit window, Customize View window, or Customize Default window, you need to select the schema that you want to use in that window. You can display a different schema in each window you open. The number of windows that you can open at one time depends on the amount of memory that is available on your system.

The instructions that follow describe how to select a schema and then open a Submit window.

Selecting a schema

1. Select Open Submit from the File menu. (You could also type Ctrl+S or select the Open Submit tool bar button.)

This is an example of the Select Schema - Submit dialog box:

Figure: Selecting a Schema

1. In the Select Schema dialog box, select the schema that you want from the Schema Name list, then select the OK button, Return/Enter key, or double-click on the schema name. By default, the last schema used is selected when the Select Schema - Submit dialog box appears. If you choose a schema that is already being displayed on your screen, then a new copy of that schema will be displayed in a separate window.

Like other Windows applications, you can use the up and down arrow keys and the Page Up and Page Down keys to display different portions of the Schema Name list.

Each schema is uniquely identified by a name and the server where it resides. (The same schema name may appear on more than one server.) If the schema is unavailable, the user will not see its name.

The Submit window appears containing the selected schema. Any actions you perform with this window active affect the schema you have selected.

To select a schema for a Query window, you follow the same steps except that you select Open Query from the File menu (or type Ctrl+Q or select the Open Query tool bar button).

To select a schema for a Customize View or Customize Defaults window, select Customize View or Customize Defaults respectively from the Actions menu.
