Showing related objects

Use the Show Related notebook to relationships between tables, indexes, views, aliases, triggers, tablespaces, UDFs, and UDTs.

Authorities and privileges



To show the related objects:

  1. Open the Show Related notebook.

  2. Open the page you want related objects for by clicking on a tab. Different related objects are listed depending on the tab you select. (Only first level dependencies are shown in the notebook. For example, if you select a table as the target object and the table has a dependency on a view which also has a dependency on another view, only the table dependency is shown. To see the dependency on the view, follow the next step.)

  3. Optional. Click mouse button 2 on a related object on the selected Page and select Show Related from the pop-up menu. The selected Page changes to show the objects related to your latest selection. Your previous target object is added to the list.

  4. Optional. If you want to compare the relationships between multiple target objects and their related objects, you can Open the Show Related notebook multiple times from the Control Center object tree.

  5. Optional. Click on the down arrow next to the Target object to display a list of previously selected target objects and select one. The selected Page changes to show the related objects.

  6. Optional. Click on Show SQL to view and save the SQL query that defines the relationships between objects.

  7. Click on Close to close the Show Related notebook and return to the Control Center.
