You can expand nodes in the tree control to view the database objects that reside on a selected server. The tree control expands to display a hierarchical view:
|
|
|
|
* Use the plus sign (+) to the left of a node to expand a segment of the tree control.
|
|
* Click the minus sign (-) to the left of a node to close that node.
|
|
|
|
Access context-sensitive menus by right-clicking on a node of the tree control to perform common tasks. Menus display options that include one or more of the following selections (options appear in alphabetical order):
