Procedure Template Properties

To view or edit a procedure template's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

DBMS

Current DBMS.

Function

Specifies whether the template defines procedures or functions.

Procedure Name

Specifies the format of the resulting procedure names.

Linked to table

Specifies whether the resulting procedure will be linked to a table.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
