Use the Database Explorer to view, access, and analyze QMF for Windows objects that reside on the database servers that have been defined in the SDF. When the Explorer Bar is enabled, the (dockable) Database Explorer window opens along with QMF for Windows and it remains open for the entire session.
The Database Explorer displays, in an object tree structure, the QMF for Windows objects that are stored on the database servers that are configured in the current SDF. The object tree contains four branches for Favorites, Recently Used Objects, Recently Used Servers, and All Servers.
The Database Explorer is a quick launching pad for accessing the servers and objects with which you have most recently worked, which saves time and effort in locating them. The Database Explorer also contains a branch for your favorite servers or objects so that you can do your own work more efficiently.
