Object Copy |
Create a copy of the selected object. It gives the dialog box for editing data object. It should be borne in mind that it is not possible to create multiple objects with the same name, so it is likely that is to be amended one proposed for copying. The object created will be added to the current project and displayed located in the upper left of the diagram. |
 |
Delete object |
Delete from the project selected object. That operation is sought further confirmation. If you want to delete the object contains references to other objects, they are deleted. The delete function is valid only in the Main View (see charts, views and display project), while if performed in other views of the project, the subject will be deleted only sight, however remaining within the project and displayed in view of Main. |
 |
Edit object |
It allows you to edit the properties of the selected object. It gives a dialog to manage its data, leading to the amendment, any changes will be reflected on the record, including cancellation. It should be kept in mind that changes or deletions made by further editing windows activated from the primary dialog box (see edit properties of the fields of a table) will not be recoverable, even if no change is made in the dialog box first. |
|
Move object |
Move the selected object in a different position in the diagram. It gives a dialog box in which you can set manually new X, Y coordinates of the object in the chart, representing the upper left of the diagram and compared to the current display. This feature can also be activated by the State Panel, double-click the mouse in that displays the current position of the object. |
 |
Color object |
It allows you to customize the colors of the object selected. It gives a dialog box, for different types of object, then you change the setting of color, including colors that can take the object in different states. This customization will be overwritten if the settings are changed in the general options. |
|
Copy on display |
It allows you to copy the reference of the selected another view on the same project. Menu Project is a voice with which you can set in a general views and articles related to them, unlike this function is set for the management of a single element, which is the current subject. |
|
Delete from display |
It allows to remove the reference of the selected sight active. It should be borne in mind that it is not possible to remove objects from the main view (Main View), for the physical elimination of the project is a voice and a specific function. Menu Project is a voice with which you can set in a general views and articles related to them, unlike this function is set for the management of a single element, which is the current subject. As already described, from the elimination of a different view from that Main does not cause the actual removal from the project, but the mere sight disconnect itself the subject will still be visible in the Main View. |
|
Copy on project |
This feature allows you to copy the selected object on another project site. It should be borne in mind that will be copied only the object and its characteristics and properties, with the exception of references to other objects in the project source. |
 |
New |
In this menu are a series of related items, with which you can create new objects in the project. The same functionality is exercised, and made easier by Panel tools on the left side of the main window. Enabling or less of items on this menu is dependent on the version of database PostgreSQL chosen for the project. |
 |
Area |
It allows you to create an object rectangular. An area can be used to define or highlight a group of other objects, only a purely graphical diagram of the project, not any function or interference with the operations creation of the database. In any condition such items will always drawn without cover most significant objects (eg lines relation ...), then remain as background to the plot. This type of object you can define the fill color and, optionally, a line of text that appears starting from the upper left corner of the internal area, the size and position can be changed at any time. |
 |
Stamp |
Create a simple but particular subject. The object is composed of a simple rectangle, which shows some ownership of the project to which it belongs. For a detailed description of this item can be found in later chapters. |
 |
Domain |
Create a domain PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Procedures SQL/PlSQL |
Create a procedure (or function) PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Relation |
Create a relationship between two tables. The report is actually created after the connection established between the tables, selecting with the mouse, leading to the selection is presented with a dialog box for entering the necessary data and the completion of the properties of relation. To create a relation is that the project must contain at least two tables, complete their respective fields, it is not possible to define relations in the absence of tables and fields. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Sequence |
Create a sequence PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Table |
Create a table PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties; through this window you can also access the editing fields and indexes of the table. It should be borne in mind that some of the data may be entered unless there are related items in the project, for example, you can define the tablespace table (or an index of the table) unless there is at least an object tablespace the project, in this case the combo will contain a reference to this tablespace allowing the hook to the table. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Tablespace |
Create a tablespace PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. The creation of a tablespace is needed if you want to combine, for example, object to a table. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Text |
Create an object text. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. As for the areas, the text object has no real function on the database, and is considered only a graphic within the diagram, which may be used as a note or to define areas logical. The string of text entered will be displayed in the diagram to the desired position and can be dragged, modified and deleted as any other object of the project. |
 |
Type |
Create a type PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. The types in the project will be presented whenever it is necessary, appear on lists with the types of default PostgreSQL. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
Trigger |
Create a trigger PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. It should be borne in mind that some of the data may be entered unless there are related items in the project, for example, you can define the reference table of trigger only if there is at least one table in the project, in this case the combo contain references to this table allowing the hook to trigger. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
View |
Create a view PostgreSQL. It gives a dialog box for entering the necessary data and setting properties. Among the functions pgDesigner is also a wizard to help you create custom views. The item is part of the objects under PostgreSQL, and the description will therefore refer to the official documentation. |
 |
View Wizard |
Run the wizard to build a view. It gives a dialog box where you can select the tables and fields components view now is not managed the definition of WHERE conditions. The object can be created manually amended. At the end of including property, will create a new vision and added to the project and in the diagram. |
 |
Chart Update |
Runs updating the graph. This feature redraw all objects in the graph, correcting any visual anomalies. In some cases, employees also the speed of the processor and video card, as well as the number of objects in the diagram, it is possible that the graphics engine is completely updated compared to the settings of objects in the draft, so they may be abnormalities occur purely visual, that you can arrange forcing the application to upgrade the entire diagram. |
 |
Reorganize diagram |
This function performs the repositioning of the objects in the diagram based on a very simple algorithm, placing objects in the diagram according to a purely mathematical, without taking into account any relationship between the objects themselves. The objects are arranged in order of creation, starting from left to right and from top to bottom on the chart; to reaching the limits of the design, repositioning start spreading again coordinated by initials. This logic can be applied initially to the first loading of a project from a database or file sql, to allow users to realize the magnitude and the number of elements of the project, allowing then placing objects in a more humanly logic. |
 |
Find objects |
This function opens a dialog, allowing you to search for items within a project. For a detailed description of this feature please refer to the later chapters. |
