Editing Table Data

Use the Table Data Editor to modify data in tables and proxy tables.

You can insert, update, or delete rows, using one of the previously defined primary keys to uniquely identify the row. If no primary key is available, all the columns are used. You can also edit content of individual cells. Your table changes appear in the local view until you explicitly commit them to the database.

Expand the Tables folder and open a table in the Table Data Editor.

Option	Description
From Enterprise Explorer	Right-click the table and select Edit Data.
From Referenced Tables view	After debugging a procedural object, right-click one of the referenced tables or proxy tables and select Edit Table Data.

To improve performance on larger tables and to focus on data that you want to work on, you can filter the table data before opening the table.

Note: You can select Do Not Show This Dialog Again to bypass the Table Data Filter dialog. You can also set this value in the Preferences page.

From the Table Data Filter dialog, select columns to filter, along with the where clause and order by values.
You can also set the maximum number of rows to retrieve.
Click OK.
Note: Editing functions are disabled if the table is read-only.

Double-click the cell to enter edit mode and make the changes.

You can also right-click a cell in edit mode:

Option	Description
Undo	Undo changes to data in table cell.
Cut	Cut data from table cell and place it on the clipboard.
Copy	Copy data from table cell and place it on the clipboard.
Paste	Paste data from the clipboard to the table cell.
Delete	Delete data from the table cell.

Right-click the table and select any of the following options:

Option	Description
Revert	Discards all uncommitted changes. Reverting changes does not guarantee that the original data is synchronized with data in the database. To synchronize the data, select Refresh.
Revert Selected Row	Discards all uncommitted changes in the selected row.
Refresh	Reloads the table data from the database and synchronizes the table data with the data in the database.
Cut Row	Cuts the selected row.
Copy Row	Copies the selected row.
Paste Row	Pastes data into a new row.
Update Value	Enters edit mode for the selected cell. From edit mode, you can make changes to the cells.
Insert Row	Inserts a new row after the last row of the table.
Delete Row	Deletes the selected row. If you filtered out columns or if the table has no primary key, this causes a problem in deleting the row.
Set Null	Sets the value in the selected cell to NULL.
Truncate Table	Truncates the table data. Note: You must unpartition a table before truncating it. You also cannot truncate a table if another table references it. Delete the rows from the foreign table first, or truncate the foreign table, then truncate the primary table.
Filter Table Data	Opens the Table Data Filter dialog where you can filter the table data by selecting columns to filter, the where clause and order by values. You can also set the maximum number of rows to retrieve.
Preview SQL Statement	Displays the SQL statement. You can view the SQL statement and save it to an external file.
Extract Table Data	Opens the Extract Table Data dialog. You can extract the selected data to an external file.
Commit to Database	Saves the changes and commits them to the database.
Preferences	Opens the Preferences page. You can change general settings for the Table Data Editor.

To edit image data, edit the hexadecimal code that appears in the cell, for example, 0x031328.

Select File > Save to commit the changes to the database.
A summary of the changes displays in Status.
Click Close.
