Looking up tables, columns, and procedures

NoteYou must have jConnect for JDBC installed to use the functionality described in this section.

Select Tools | Lookup Table Name and Tools | Lookup Procedure Name utilities to look up the names of tables, columns, or procedures stored in the current database and insert them at your cursor position.

Enter the first characters of a table, column, or procedure in the Lookup Table Name and Lookup Procedure Name dialogs. This list narrows to display only those items that start with the text you entered.

You can use the standard SQL wildcard character % to mean “match anything”. Clear the search area to display all items.
