To review or modify data, right click on a table or view name in the *Browser* tree control. When the context menu opens, use the *View/Edit Data* menu to specify the number of rows you would like to display in the editor panel.
To modify the content of a table, each row in the table must be uniquely identifiable. If the table definition does not include an OID or a primary key, the displayed data is read only. Note that views cannot be edited; updatable views (using rules) are not supported.
The top row of the data grid displays the name of each column, the data type, and if applicable, the number of characters allowed. A column that is part of the primary key will additionally be marked with [PK].
* To change a numeric value within the grid, double-click the value to select the field. Modify the content in the square in which it is displayed.
* To change a non-numeric value within the grid, double-click the content to access the edit bubble. After modifying the contentof the edit bubble, click the *Save* button to display your changes in the data grid, or *Cancel* to exit the edit bubble without saving.
To enter a newline character, click Ctrl-Enter or Shift-Enter. Newline formatting is only displayed when the field content is accessed via an edit bubble.
To add a new row to the table, enter data into the last (unnumbered) row of the table. As soon as you store the data, the row is assigned a row number, and a fresh empty line is added to the data grid.
To write a SQL NULL to the table, simply leave the field empty. When you store the new row, the will server fill in the default value for that column. If you store a change to an existing row, the value NULL will explicitly be written.
To write an empty string to the table, enter the special string '' (two single quotes) in the field. If you want to write a string containing solely two single quotes to the table, you need to escape these quotes, by typing \'\'
To delete a row, press the *Delete* toolbar button. A popup will open, asking you to confirm the deletion.
To commit the changes to the server, select the *Save* toolbar button. Modifications to a row are written to the server automatically when you select a different row.
You can access *Sort/Filter options dialog* by clicking on Sort/Filter button. This allows you to specify an SQL Filter to limit the data displayed and data sorting options in the edit grid window:
* Use *SQL Filter* to provide SQL filtering criteria. These will be added to the "WHERE" clause of the query used to retrieve the data. For example, you might enter:
..code-block:: sql
id > 25 AND created > '2018-01-01'
* Use *Data Sorting* to sort the data in the output grid
To add new column(s) in data sorting grid, click on the [+] icon.
