Manipulating Data in the Database Painter

As you work on the database, you might want to look at existing data or create some data for testing purposes. You might also want to test display formats, validation rules, and edit styles on real data.

PowerBuilder provides data manipulation for such purposes. With data manipulation, you can:

• Retrieve and manipulate database information
• Save the contents of the database in a variety of formats (such as Excel, PDF, or XML)

These functions work the same as in PowerBuilder Classic; see the PowerBuilder Users Guide.
