Initiating an object operation

Go Up to Overview of object actions/operations execution

Object operations are most commonly available as right-click context menu selections on the Database Navigator, available with one or more objects selected.

Note: To verify availability of an object action for a specific object type and DBMS platform, see the topic covering that object type in Supported Objects.

To Initiate an Object Operation in Rapid SQL

1. Connect to the datasource that contains the object you want to perform the operation against. For more information, see Connecting to Datasources.
2. On the Database Navigator, expand nodes until the target object type is visible and then expand the target object type. See the following topics for more information:
   • The Rapid SQL Datasource Navigator - for general information on working with the Navigator.
   • Supported Objects, specific object type topic - for information on navigating Datasource Navigator nodes to the target object type.
3. Take one of the following actions:
   • To initiate an operation against a single object, right-click the object and select the operation from the context menu.
   • To initiate an operation against a multiple objects, use CTRL-clicking to select multiple objects, right-click one of the selected objects and then select an operation from the context menu.

   Note: Not all object operations can be applied to multiple objects.

   The wizard for the selected object operation opens.
